Library Dos:

Act responsibly – maintain a quiet, respectful atmosphere. Students may not hold conversations in the Library. It is not a gathering place. Tables should be used for studying and the computers for homework and research. Please do not conduct craft projects in the Library.

Ask for permission prior to accessing the computer. Utilize computers and printers for academic purposes to finish homework, research and draft reports.

Carry a flash drive – items saved to the desktop are deleted at the end of each day. However items saved to My Documents are accessible on all computers for one month.

Shirts must be tucked in at all times and cell phones are never permitted.

Library Don’ts:

No eating or drinking – this includes water bottles and mints!

No gum chewing

Students may not print pictures, photos or images on the school computers. However those who do print pictures, photos or images must pay 10 cents per page of images at that time.

Things to Remember:

• MAC USERS: If you have a Yahoo email address and you save a PAGES document as an attachment to your email, it may not open on the school computers. Yahoo somehow changes the file index. Please save your Pages document at home as a PDF and then the attachment will open in the Library. Thank you.

The Library printers automatically print double-sided – no exceptions! Please do not pull the paper out of the machine until AFTER it has printed.

Photocopies are charged 10 cents per page at that time.

Students must pay the photocopy or printing charges immediately – IOUs are not allowed.
