1. • Mrs. McDonald
Media Specialist
• Ms. Evans

Assistant

2. 7:30 to 3:00 each school day
**Need to work on a computer after school? No problem –
just let us know AT LEAST one day beforehand**
You may come in with your teacher to use
the IMC, or you may come in to use the IMC
with a note from your teacher
Students who are excused from
P.E. must have a note from the
nurse or P.E. teacher.
You must also sign in at the front
desk if you come without your
teacher.

3. You may check out one book for two
weeks at a time. You may also
renew your books if you need more
time.
It’s not necessary to bring your books
to the library to renew them –
just tell us you want to renew, or
you can renew them online

4. It’s easy-schmeezy!
1.Come to the desk
2. Punch in your ID
number on the keypad
3. We will scan the
book & put a date due
card inside

5. 10 cents per day
If you have an overdue item, you cannot
check out another book until that fine is
paid.
If you have a book that is overdue but
can’t pay the fine, drop off the book
anyway. That way, the fine stops
accumulating. You can pay the fine
later. Otherwise, the fine will keep
getting larger.

6. An alarm will sound
someone tries to take a book
or magazine from the library
without
checking
it out.

7. Use the book drop. We have two:
one is outside the doors, and one
is just inside the IMC.
Outside book drop Inside book drop

8. You may use the IMC computers for school
work, as long as they are not reserved by a
teacher for his or her class to use.
You must show Ms Evans or Mrs. McD what
you will be working on (your assignment or
paperwork) in order to get permission to
use a computer.

9. Many teachers and students use our IMC.
We
must
be
RESPECTFUL
of
everyone here.

10. • Our IMC has cameras just
like the other areas of
our building.

the shelf, leave it on the cart in that area.

a book on hold, create a list of
books to read later, submit book
reviews, and share the list with
others.
