$$$ Late Fees $$$

Late fees are $.10/day for overdue books.

Maximum Number of Books and Audio Books

 With the exception of reference books, textbooks and magazines, students may check out two (2) library books at a time and one (1) Audio Book. You may checkout as many textbooks as required for your classes.

Maximum Checkout Time

 Students have a whole month to read or listen to their library books! WOO HOO! Now remember, we will stamp the due date in the card pocket on the inside of the library book. Any book may be renewed unless it has been requested by another student or teacher. 

 Textbooks are not due until the end of the school year or semester if a student is graduating early.

 If a student is no longer going to be attending North High, all materials and books are due at the time that they are exiting North High.

 If a student is attending another school in the USD 259 School District, and has books that belong to North High, they may take the books to the library at the school they attend. The library staff there will send the books back to the North High Library. When we receive those books, we will waive the fees.

 Hold It!

  If a book is checked out, we would be very happy to put it on hold for you. Yea us!

Return Materials

 Please return library materials on or before the due date so that others may have an opportunity to enjoy it too. We ask that computers and other materials (not books) be personally handed to a library staff member.

 Books returned to the library should be placed in the book drop located at the circulation desk or placed in the book return bins located outside the east and west library doors.

 Students should personally return all Audiobooks and other library materials checked out for them. Students should never give books or other materials to teachers or other students to return to them. Why, you ask? Well I'll tell ya. It's because each student is personally responsible for the care and return of all library materials and textbooks that they check out.

 All library materials are checked out by computer. Proctors are not allowed to check out materials, other than textbooks and library books, for staff or students.

 Lost or Damaged Books and Other Materials

 Please report lost or damaged materials or books to a library staff member. You may be charged the price of the book or other materials. However, you have the option to replace most of the items with a new one. Let's talk about it!

Password Change/Reset 

 If a student needs to change or reset their password to get on the computer, please contact one of the library clerks.

 We only have the ability to reset or change student passwords. 

Students Coming to Work in the Library

Passes

Students must have a pass from their teacher in order to come into the library during a class period. Students do not need a pass or need to sign in and out, before school, during lunch, or after school.

First Thing First

When students enter the library, they need to go directly to the circulation desk to check in with a library staff, show them their pass, and then sign in on the clipboard located at the circulation desk. Students will also need to sign out on the clipboard if they leave before that period is over.

 Advocacy

If students choose to use the library during advocacy, they must first pre-sign with the library staff and get their agenda stamped. Then the student reports to their Advocacy class, shows their “Pre-signed Stamp” to the Advocacy teacher, before going to the library. Students then get checked-in by library staff and are expected to work quietly and productively. If a student pre-signs with the library and does not show up, their teacher will be notified by email. Students cannot come to the library to hang out with friends or play games. They must come to study.

Keep it Clean

It is the student's responsibility to clean after themselves before they leave.

Student Conduct in the Library

We all know there is the right way and the wrong way to carry ourselves in public, right? Well, our behaviour in the library is no different. The North High Library Media Center is a place where people may come in, independently or with their class, to quietly work or to check out reading materials. We ask that students keep their voice level down so that they do not disturb others. Students who become loud and unruly, or who are not working, will be asked to leave the library. Violations may result in loss of library privileges. Students who need to work in groups should see library staff.
