Resources: Centrally located in the school, our facility houses approximately 7000 books, periodicals, videotapes, software and 13 internet accessible computers. It is a work in progress.

Any books checked out to a student are that student’s responsibility. Students cannot check out books for other students.
Students will be sent overdue notices, periodically, to their 1st period teacher.
Students owing books from past school years will get notices at the beginning of the new school will not be able to check out library materials until the overdues are returned or paid for.
Reference books are reserved for library use only and may not be checked out.
Internet Access:
Students must have an Internet Use Policy signed by the student and parent and on file in the media center before students can use the computers in the school for any task.
Students must pay $.10 a page to print items on the printers or have copies made on the copier.
Media center computers are for research and class work. Students are not allowed to use e-mail, visit chat rooms, or play games on the computers.
