Library Policy

 
 
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 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.  

The librarian will rotate her lunch period so that each study/period has a 
chance to use the library.  
The schedule will normally be:  5th Lunch, except for Days #4 & #5
4th Lunch on #4 and 6th Lunch on #5.  Exceptions may be made if requested.

During Advent and Lent, Library will be closed for about ten minutes at one 
of the lunch periods in order to accommodate Eucharistic Minister duties.
