Media Center Visits
Book bags and backpacks should be stored under your seat when in the
library. Limited space in the seating areas means that putting them
elsewhere creates a hazard.

while in the Media Center.
All students must sign in and out in the notebook on the circulation desk.
Passes must also be inserted in the time clock to record your times of
arrival and departure.
Unless you are with a class, you must check out a computer to use. Computer
checkout is available at the circulation desk.
Quiet, orderly behavior is expected at all times.
