The library is located on the second floor of the school building and is open from 7:30 AM to 3:10 PM every school day with exceptions for a short schedule Thursdays with an Academic Board meeting or department meetings. In case of a scheduled meeting, the library closes ten minutes after the end of the schoolday. Books are on loan for a three-week period. Students are responsible for and must pay for lost or damaged books. A student who wishes to use the library follows these procedures: Arrangements must be made with the librarian if the student wishes to use the facility before 7:45 AM. During study periods, students wishing to use the library must sign up in the library. Students report directly to the library as they would to class. Students must sign both roll slip and binder. Roll is taken in the library and the roll slip is sent to the study hall moderator. Students who do not follow this procedure will be considered cutting class or truant. Students must remain in the library for the entire period. If a student does not have a study, arrangements can be made with the librarian to have access to the library. Additional information concerning other procedures for library use is available in the library.Passwords to licensed databases are available from the librarian. Library usage is a privilege that may be removed if the student does not comply with proper behavior. The library is to be used for research, reading, or homework. Chatting is not allowed. Courtesy is expected. Misbehavior will get one warning, and after that, it is back to study for a minimum of two weeks, with the appropriate demerits/detentions.
