LIBRARY
We desire that all
students benefit from an appealing library environment that supports their academic
endeavors.
Guidelines for
Library Use:
1.
Hours of Operation: Mon. – Fri.
7:45 a.m. – 3:15 p.m.
2.
Access the library
using the glass doors, stamp your pass and sign in.
3.
Return library
items to the book drop located at the circulation desk.
4.
Students coming to
the library on an individual basis from a classroom must present a valid pass upon
entering the library. Lunch/study hall passes
must be obtained in the library before 9:30 a.m. Students using the library during
lunch/study are expected to stay in the library for the entire period.
5.
Conduct your
activities in a manner that will not disrupt other library users. Excessive noise that
disrupts others will result in a verbal warning followed by more severe consequences if
the behavior continues.
6.
Food or drinks
should not be brought into the library. Open
food and drink items will be taken and thrown away.
7.
Use library
technology only for designated academic purposes. Inappropriate use of Internet technology
violates the CHS Internet Acceptable Use Policy. Students should be aware that library
computers are monitored both locally and remotely.
8.
THE # 1 RULE: Ask
if you need help! We are here to assist you in
any way that we can!
General Information:
A. Check Out Policies:
- Borrowing of
library items requires both a zero balance for fines and no overdue books.
- Students should
NEVER check items out for another student. The
borrower is ALWAYS held responsible for items checked out under his/her name.
- Books are checked
out for 2 weeks and renewed for 2 weeks. Students may check out up to 3 books at one time.
- Overnight reserve books are checked out for one day. They may be checked out at the end of seventh hour
and must be returned before first hour the following day.
- Reference books and
current magazines are not checked out. These are to be used in the library.
- When renewing
library materials, the item(s) to be renewed must be presented at the time of renewal.
B. Fines: Due
dates are stamped on date-due cards that are issued with all materials. Overdue fines are
strictly enforced.
1. FINE
AMOUNTS
·
Books:
5 cents per day per book beginning the first school day after the
due date
·
Overnight
books: 75 cents per day per item beginning the first school day
after the due date.
2. LOST/DAMAGED LIBRARY MATERIALS
·
When
a student loses any library materials, he/she must pay for the cost of replacing the
materials, assuming that said materials are still in print. If materials are not still in
print, students must pay for a like material to replace the lost material(s). The
replacement material may cost more than the original. We will search reputable
publishers for pricing. .
·
If a
student damages library materials, the librarian will make the decision to replace or
refurbish the item. In both cases, the borrower will be responsible for any cost incurred.
