Circulation Policies

Students may check out up to 5 books at a time. That number may be reduced for late and/or lost books.

  • Books may be kept for up to 2 weeks; books can be renewed, so long as no other students are waiting for that item.

Students may place holds on books that are currently checked out and will be notified when they are available.

  •      To place a hold, log in to Destiny Discover from the Catalog Icon

Search for the book you want and select HOLD.

Library lunch passes are available most days and can be checked out before school, during passing period or before lunch. They are checked out on a first-come, first-serve basis, and students may have up to two lunch passes each week.

Students are responsible for textbooks assigned to them.  Texts that are lost, stolen, or show excessive wear or damage are charged to the student.  Students must pay fines for missing or damaged books.

Lost or destroyed items will be subject to the cost of replacement.

****If a student has purchased a yearbook, they will not receive the yearbook until all library fines are satisfied.****

If a lost item is paid for and later found during the same school year and returned, one of two things will happen.

If the item has already been replaced in the library, the student will be given the book that they have paid for.

If the item has not already been replaced in the library, the student will be issued a refund through the bookkeeper.
