When is the library open?
Normally, the library is open from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Signs will be posted in advance when the library needs to be closed because of meetings or special events, or if we need to restrict use of the library during the school day because of scheduled classes
If you want to come to the library during study hall, . . .
...come to the library before your study hall class begins (either before school or between periods) and ask the librarian for a library permit. Show it to your study hall teacher, sign out on the study hall sign-out sheet, and the bring the permit back when you come to the library. Sign in when you arrive.
Students are expected to sign in and remain in the library for the entire period. If you need to come to the library to make photocopies or quickly use a computer or find a book, you still must have a teacher's hall pass.
