Library Access for Classes

• The library uses flexible scheduling. A
  flexible, open schedule provides easy access when
  needed by individuals, groups and classes.
• Flexible scheduling ensures that the library
  program is integrated into all areas of the
  curriculum.
• Teachers schedule class time on the library
  calendar on the circulation desk. Teachers are
  required to fill out a simple visit planning form

Library Access Individual Students

• Teachers can send 2 students at a time on passes
  to get books or to research. Please specify if
  computer use is allowed.
• We try to make sure students use their time well,
  but cannot always ensure that they are timely. It
  is helpful if you give a return time on passes
• We do not write late passes. Students are
  responsible for getting to class on time
• The bathrooms are for library patrons only. Do
  not send students to use bathrooms.
