Library Rules and Expectations

Welcome to the HiGHLAND
Library Media Center!
 
The LMC belongs to the entire school community, so let’s all do our part to keep it a friendly and educational environment.
 
Borrowing Materials: 
  • Students must provide their student ID# to borrow library materials.
  • To renew materials, a student must stop in the LMC and provide their student ID# and the name of the title to be renewed.  If a student has an extended absence for any reason when materials need to be returned, a student must email the Mrs. McCay (amccay@bhprsd.org) or class principal to request a renewal or have materials returned to the main office.  
  • LMC materials are checked out to students for a three week period.
  • Students may renew materials a maximum of two times.
  • Students may have up to four books checked out at a time.
  • Periodicals are for in-library use only.
  • Reference material may checked out for one day only.
 
Fines:
  • Students are notified when books are due upon check-out. 
  • A written notice will be sent to the student in English class when a student has missed the return date.
  • Though there are no fines for overdue books, if a book is lost the student must pay a fine for its replacement.
  • Students who have outstanding material fines may have extracurricular and borrowing privileges suspended.
 
LMC Etiquette:
  • Please note we are open from 7:20am until 2:40pm any day the building is open to students. The LMC may close throughout the day for classes or lunch.  No student should be in the LMC without staff supervision.
  • Students must present a written pass from their scheduled teacher when coming to the LMC during class or study hall.
  • Students must SIGN IN and SIGN OUT on the LMC TURNSTILE each visit.
  • Respect each other and avoid distracting or disrupting your fellow Tartans in the LMC. 
    • Respect for SELF
