Student Library Assistants

In order to make the library a welcoming place for all, we ask students to please:

• Limit snacks and drinks
• Enjoy the library in a way that doesn't disturb other people or damage anything
• Clean up after yourself and return items to their place
• Follow school rules

Students visiting the library during Periods 1-7 must have an online pass issued from a teacher.

• Ask your teacher to fill out an online pass
• Sign in at the library desk when you arrive. This generates an email back to your teacher, so you don't get marked absent
• Plan to stay the entire hour
• If you need to leave the room, sign out on our iPad, leave your phone, and take a lanyard

No pass is needed to visit the library before school, after school, or at lunch.
