Media Center Procedures
Books can be checked out for two (2) weeks. Reference books and periodicals may be checked out during the day with written permission from a classroom teacher and may also be checked out for overnight use.
The library is automated with the Circulation/Catalog Plus check out system. Each student will be assigned a library number for check-out purposes. A $1.00 fine will be charged for bar code label/and or book cover loss or damage.
Library fines are charged on books that are not returned on time. The fine is $.05 per day excluding weekends and holidays. Students will be expected to pay for books damaged, destroyed, or not returned to the library.
Library Catalog is now web based and can be access from any computer.
Patrons can view the holdings of the library, and check the status of their
Account, and place materials on hold. They will need to log into the Destiny system using their student name as their username AND their password is their 5 digit number.
