Taking Out Books

Every student's name has been entered into the circulation database, therefore you do not need a library card to take out books. You may take out up to two books at a time for a two week period.

There are no overdue fines, but after two weeks you will begin to receive overdue notices.  For this reason, please try to return your books on time.  Books may be renewed even if you don't have the book with you.

Overdue notices are sent to your shop instructor for distribution.

In the event a book is damaged or lost it must be paid for in the Business office.  The same school policies that apply to textbooks also apply to books from the Media Center.

Important Information About Public Libraries
If you do not find the book you are looking for here, please check your local public library.  You will need to have a current public library card to take out books -- this card allows you to take out books from any public library in Connecticut, and return them to your local library.

Another advantage of having a current library card is that it will give you access to the Connecticut Digital Library from home.  Once you are at the website, click on "Access Databases from Home" and enter the bar code numbers from your library card.  You will be given access to a number of databases on a variety of subjects.
