There are no fines charged for overdue books. You will be charged for lost or damaged materials. All materials must be returned two weeks before the end of the school year. You will not receive your final grades until all books are returned or paid for.

LIBRARY PASSES

Students should sign up in the library in order to stay after school since space is limited.

STUDENT BEHAVIOR

Students are expected to be respectful of each other, the teachers, and library materials. Each student must accept the responsibility for treating the materials with care, but more importantly for treating other library users with consideration.

Students who come here during recess must be here to use library materials and are expected to adhere to appropriate behavioral expectations.
