Using the CCCHS Library
(For students)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
