1. BORROWING/RETURNING/USING LIBRARY MATERIALS
In order to borrow a book, magazine, newspaper from the library or to use any of the computers, a student must have a valid Hayes I.D. Card.

Books are borrowed for a two-week period, with the ability to renew.

Each student is responsible for any library material that he borrows, along with any fines for late returns or payment for lost items. It is advisable that library materials borrowed in one student’s name and I.D. number not be lent to another user.

2. FINES/OVERDUES
A fine per school day is charged for overdue books. Notices are generally sent weekly to students who have overdue books/unpaid fines. Students should return books promptly without waiting for a notice.

If three notices are ignored, the fourth notice comes from the Librarian. Failure to report to the library results in detention.

If a library item is not returned/fine paid, a detention is issued each day until the book is returned and a fine paid. At the close of the school year, books, magazines, and all other library items returned late will incur a fine per item, per day.
