Holds: If there's a book you would like that's currently checked out to another patron, you can place it on hold. Ask a librarian to place a hold at the circulation desk or you may use your Follett Destiny Account to place a hold on your own (directions here).  When the book you’ve requested becomes available, you'll receive a notice through your school email.  The item will be available at the circulation desk for three days from the date of your email.  If you do not pick up your hold item within three days, it will go back into circulation for other patrons.

Renewals: You may renew any item for an additional two weeks.  You may renew up to two times, and then you'll be asked to return the item.  To keep high-demand items available for everyone, you may not renew new titles, reference materials, special items, or books that are currently on hold for other patrons.

 
Late materials:  There are no late fines, however you will owe the cost of the book if it is not returned or is returned damaged. Prompt return of materials is expected from borrowers as a courtesy to other patrons. 
 
Lost or damaged materials: Lost or damaged materials must be paid for by the borrower, and charges will go on your Skyward Account.  Refunds will be given if lost material is found before the library purchases the replacement item.
 
If you have an overdue or lost item, you will not be able to check out new materials until your account is clear.

Food and Beverages: In order to protect our books, furniture and equipment, students must finish food before coming into the library. Please use the Commons before school or your assigned cafeteria for lunch. All drinks must have a lid.
