Using the CCCHS Library

(For students)

 

1.  Library hours

Library hours are from 7:15 A.M. to 3:15 P.M.  Mrs. Milburn will be available to assist you a 7:15 in the morning, and Mrs. Pugh will be available to assist you in the afternoon until 3:15.  Due to the fact that students cannot be left in the library unsupervised, our library is considered closed at 3:15 P.M.   The library is also open during lunch and during students’ fourth study period.

 

2.  Book check out time

Books may be checked out for 2 weeks.  If for some reason, you are not finished with your book at the end of 2 weeks, the book may be renewed as long as there is not a waiting list for the book.  A maximum of 5 books may be checked out at one time.

 

3.  Overnight check out items

Reference books and magazines may be checked out overnight—subject to librarian approval.  On some occasions if the demand is not high, the item may be special dated to allow you to keep it for more than one night.

 

 4.  Students’ responsibility

§         Students are responsible for any materials checked out of the library; therefore, you should not lend books, magazines, etc. to friends.  Suggest that your friend check the items out in his/her name in order that you are not held responsible.

§         No food, drinks, or gum will be permitted in the library.  (Bottled drinks must remain in your backpacks or definitely not be visible.)

§         Students should work quietly whenever you are in the library.  Any student who disrupts the library will be restricted from using the library.  The library is designed to be an area where students may read, study, or research, and strictly socializing will be discouraged.

§         Any library materials removed from the library without being checked out are considered stolen property.  There is very little that cannot be checked out of the library; therefore, please be sure to check out your materials before leaving.

§         Please be sure that all work areas are neat and organized before leaving the library.  Reference books should be returned to their proper locations, and waste paper should be properly discarded.

 

5.  Fines         

Overdue fines are 5 cents per day.  A maximum fine of $1.00 is charged for any overdue book.  Please keep in mind that reference books are overnight check out; therefore, a fine can accrue rather quickly on these books.

 

6.  Grade cards or diplomas

 At the end of the school year, students who have overdue library books will not receive grade cards, diplomas, or text books at the beginning of the next school year.

 

7.  Internet forms

            No student will be allowed to use the library computers for internet purposes without having signed and turned in your internet agreement form.  A daily computer form must also be filled out before a student can use a computer in the library, indicating the reason for computer use.  The library computers should not be used for the following:

§         E-mail

§         Chat rooms

§         Instant messaging

§         Downloading of music, games, videos (if you begin to download a program by accident, immediately cancel the action and notify one of the librarians)

§         Games

§         Non-classroom related searches (computers can be used only for class related work, no recreational searching i.e. music groups, shopping, video game sites, etc.)

§         Changing settings such as screen saver, wallpaper, etc.

Students who are found violating these instructions will lose their computer privileges and face disciplinary action.

 

8.  Class changes

Students are not allowed to cut through the library during class changes.
