Learning Commons Rules

Learning Commons Rules

Respect the Resources: Library material and resources are for everyone and belong to the school. Treat each book as if it belongs to a friend or family member.
Respect the Space: Students and teachers use the library space equally. Be respectful of the organization (reshelve correctly) and avoid creating distractions while others work.
Respect Each Other: Remember that you share this library with your fellow students and teachers. Treat others with respect and dignity.

Circulation Procedures

Circulation Procedures

Check In: There are two places to return books or other borrowed material. The first book drop is a metal hatched door between the circulation desk and D-hall. The internal book drop is on the circulation desk's right side.

Check-Out: Students may check out up to two books at a time. Checkouts are due for return or renewal after two weeks (14 days).

Step 1: Select your material and approach the circulation desk.

Step 2: Have your student ID or ID number ready.

Step 3: The librarian or aid will scan the book and check for overdue books on the student account.

Step 4: If no missing material or fines are present, students may borrow material for two weeks.

Renewal: Students who have not finished reading their book may renew a title for an additional two weeks (14 days). Students must follow checkout procedures to renew a book.
