Rules and Procedures

• No food, candy, gum, or drinks
• Plain water is fine- please keep it closed and on the floor unless actively drinking. 
• Reason: The library has had an insect problem in the past and we want to keep it bug-free. Also the custodians are short staffed, and they do not have time to vacuum, daily.
• Be safe
• No running or horseplay
• Be Kind
• Mean is never funny
• No cursing or derogatory language

Students may have 2 books checked out at a time. The checkout period is for 3 weeks, and books may be renewed once.

During school hours, you will need a pass written by your teacher (or to come in with your teacher). The plastic bathroom passes do not count.

Before school, you need a library or computer pass given to you by your grade-level principal.

Campus printers were not set up to print off of Student Profiles, so students cannot print at school.

You should be able to submit a digital copy of an assignment through Schoology, and if teachers want a hard copy, they can print.

If a book is late, there are NO late fines.

However, after 30 days late, the system marks the book as lost. Just turn the book in (in good condition) and the lost fine should clear.

You will need to pay for the lost book. If you borrowed from a different school, you will need to pay their RevTrak.

Much more details are available on our RevTrak: Lost & Damaged Books page!

To become a librarian you need to get a Masters of Library Science.

In the State of Texas, school librarians need to ALSO be a teacher for at least two years.

Even the smallest public library, there are typically at least 2 librarians (1 to work on technical services and 1 to work on public services) as well as a few library aides (the people who generally shelve and check out books). A school librarian has to do all of these:

• Design (and order) for flexible spaces to promote both individual and collaborative use

Public Services

• Educating patrons on items such as:

• technology: from basic skills to digital tools
• copyright: fair use & violations
• Provide access to materials
• Promote literacy and reading
