Scheduled middle school class library visits occur every two weeks. All students can visit the Middle & Senior School Library before or after school, and during breaks or free periods from Monday-Friday between 8:15am and 4:15pm.
If there is a specific book you would like, please place it on hold.
There is no limit on the number of books you can check out at once, but please keep the needs of other students in mind!
Borrowers have two weeks to return their books after checking them out from the library. Unless another borrower has placed a hold on your book, you can renew books for two additional two-week periods after your first checkout.
The librarian sends automatic overdue notices at the end of each month. If you have overdue books checked out to your library profile, please return them as soon as possible. We do not charge fines for overdue library books, but will follow up with borrowers who have items overdue by more than two months.
Please email the librarian if you lose or damage a library book so that it can be replaced. You will be charged the list price of a replacement copy.
Borrowers can check out books with the computer and barcode scanner at the library circulation desk.
