To visit the library during the academic day:
- Create a SmartPass from your class to the Library.
- Your teacher must approve the pass.
- You are always welcome in the library, but the library staff will not approve a pass out of class; your teacher must grant that permission.
- To work or read in the library during Deer Time, request Library Study Hall with Mrs. Rossi in RTI Scheduler.
- PLEASE NOTE: Deer Time is intended for students to be engaged in an academic activity, not for meeting to hang out with friends.
- Please indicate in the note what you need to work on in the library.
- Same-day requests may not be seen in time to be scheduled.
- Limited seating is available on days clubs meet in the library.
Circulation Policies:
- How many books may I check out at a time?
Students may have two fiction or nonfiction books or three graphic books checked out at a time. - How long is the checkout period?
- Fiction and nonfiction books have a lending period of two weeks.
- Graphic books have a lending period of one week.
- Can I renew a book if I'm not finished reading it by the due date?
Yes, you may recheck a title -- provided it isn't on hold for another student. - What if my book is overdue?
Books accrue a late fee of $0.10 per day with a $5 maximum each. - PLEASE NOTE: You will never be charged a late fee over $5 for a single book.
- If you have a library fee that is over $5, it means you still have the book checked out and are being charged for the cost of book.

- Return the book and wait for the book cost change to the late fee...which will never be over $5.
