Library Guidelines• You must have your library card to check out

books.

• You may check out two books and one magazine each time you come to the library. (If you returned your other items).

• You may not check out books if you have a long overdue item.

• Please work quietly so you don’t disturb other students.

• Always enter at Library Lab door and exit by the door nearest the Circulation Desk.

Checking out…

• Books – Circulate for two weeks.

• Reference – No checkout except to classroom.

• Magazines may be checked-out. They are on shelves next to the exit door alphabetically by the name of the magazine.

How to check out your own booksIt’s as easy as 1,2,3!

• I scan my card. (It’s only polite to say hello!)

• I scan my books. Listen for the “happy sound” (If you get the “unhappy sound” call for help!).

• I see them on the screen! I see my name and my books! That’s it, I’m out the door - as easy as 1,2,3.

How to check-in your books It’s as easy as 1,2, 3!

• When I enter the Library with my books… I stop at the

Check-in computer. I stand behind the line on the carpet. When it is my turn….

• I scan my books. Using the barcode next to the spine.

• I see my name. and I’m sure that my name is on the screen one time for every book I check in.

• I put them on the shelf. E books on the

pink shelves, F on the purple and Non Fiction (true) on the Blue.

• Please return your materials on time for others to use. There are no fines for late books.
