STUDENT LIBRARY POLICY 2010
The library is open during the regular school day. Students may come to
the library during homeroom, study periods, and after eating lunch. Nothing
other than paper and pen may be carried beyond the sign-in desk. All
students entering the library must sign in, unless they are part of an
entire class.
Study Periods. Any student rostered for study hall (academic Prep) should
report directly to the library and sign the list upon entering. No student
may ever sign for another student. They are to be here when the bell rings
and must remain until the end of the period.
Lunch Periods. Students who wish to use the library after finishing their
lunch should obtain a pass from the cafeteria moderator. Students are to
bring their books with them and remain in the library for the rest of the
lunch period. They may not go back and forth from the cafeteria.
During homeroom. Students may come directly to the library and the librarian
will inform attendance they are here, or they may come with a pass from the
homeroom teacher.
Class Periods. Students are admitted to the library from class provided the
teacher sent them. The pass must indicate the time and work to be done. If
the regular teacher is absent, the substitute may not send students to the
library.
Entire Class. Please feel free to reserve time with the librarian to bring
your classes to the library. At least 48 hours notice is greatly
appreciated. There are 24 computers in the library. Please keep in mind
that during the AP exams in May, no student or teacher is permitted to enter
the library.
Materials. Books in the regular collection circulate for two weeks. They
may be renewed as many times as necessary. Books not returned on time are
overdue books. They are charged a fine of 10¢ per day. Magazines and
reference books do not circulate.
Card Catalog. We now have an electronic card catalog. It is available on
the desktop of every computer in the school. It is under “My favorites.”
You can click on it to see what is available in our library.
Reading Olympics. Archbishop Wood High School participated in the Bucks
County Reading Olympics for the first time in 2007. We are proud of our
students and their outstanding accomplishment of a blue and red ribbon. We
are equally proud of our 2008 team. We continue to grow and succeed. In 2009
our teams were awarded two blues and a red. We look forward to participating
in the 2010 competition and encourage students to begin reading now. A copy
of the list for 2010 appears on another page of our website.
