Book Checkout
- Books are checked out for 3 weeks. The library offers unlimited renewals as long as no other student has placed a reserve on that book; the student must bring the book to the library in order to renew it.
- A student may have four books checked out at a time. If a student has an overdue book, their borrowing privileges may be suspended until the book is returned; or if lost, paid for.
- Books may be returned at the circulation desk or the book drop next to the library entrance.
- Lost books must be paid for. If a book is later found, the money will be refunded.
Advisory period
Students may ask the librarian to request them during Advisory time. The library is closed during school assemblies.
Computer Use
The library has Chromebooks and desktop computers available for student use.
Magazines and Newspapers
Electronic magazine, newspaper indexing, and numerous other databases are available online via OSLIS on all networked computers at PHS.
Reference Materials and Reserves
Reference books and magazines are for library use only. Occasionally a particular reference book may be checked out overnight and returned before school the following day if arrangements are made with the librarian.
Often many students from different periods need access to the same resources. To be fair to all students, these books will be placed “on reserve” and will not be available for regular checkout. We will keep them on a cart or special shelf in the LMC. Occasionally, with special arrangements with the teacher and media specialist, a student may check out a reserve book overnight.
Photo Copies
There is no charge for student copies made in the library media center.
Behavior
Students are expected to work quietly and respect the needs of others.
