Books
All books from the general collection may be checked out for a two-week loan period. The date on the date due slip is the date by which the book should be returned. Students returning books late will be fined 10 cents per day for each overdue book, excluding weekends and school holidays. Books may be renewed provided there is not a demand for that particular title or subject matter. Students with overdue books or outstanding fines must clear their record before borrowing additional materials.
Reference Books
Books from the reference collection may be checked out overnight and returned before first period the day they are due. Students returning overdue reference books will be fined 25 cents per day for each overdue book.
Periodicals
Current issues of magazines are on display in the pit in the library and are non-circulating. Older issues of magazines may be borrowed for a two week period
and are subject to the same overdue fines as books.
Reserves
Students may reserve books if they are checked out. When the library does not own the materials you need, every effort will be made to obtain them through district interlibrary loan and ACCESS PA.

Students may request one pass a day.
When you need a library pass, follow this procedure:
1. Sign your name on the sign-up form in the library and write your name and study hall location on the pass.
2. Report to the library at the beginning of the period and put your pass in the box.
3. Students must remain in the library the entire period. Please have work for the
entire period.
