This document provides an orientation for students on using the library. It introduces the library staff, including the media specialist and assistant. It outlines the hours the library is open, how to check out books, what technology and resources are available, and basic rules for respectful behavior. Students are expected to follow six simple rules, including no food/drink, being respectful of others, and treating materials with care. Consequences are outlined for not following the rules. The overall message is for students to start the year by reading and using the library respectfully.
