Circulation Procedures

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.

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.

A coin operated photocopier is available for your use. 
There is a charge of 10 cents per page for this service.

Please make an effort to return materials on time. 
Other students may be looking for them, too.
