What are the Library Hours?
The library hours have recently changed. We are open from 7:30 - 7:45 AM and
2:50 - 3:15 PM.
If I lose my book, can I just bring a different one in to replace it?
No. The charge for a lost library book includes processing
fees,barcodes, call number stickers, protective coverings, and
computer records that come through our book company. Payment may
be made in cash or by check made out to “PEC Library”.
Q: What happens if I pay for a book, but then later I find it?
At this point, you may choose to simply keep the book, or if
it is still in good condition, you may return the book and
request a refund.
May I check out books or use a computer after school?
A: Students may check out books after school. For students with
homework assignments, the library is open after school until 3:15
daily, unless a staff meeting occurs. Students doing homework on the computer
sign in at the circulation desk, providing the name of the
teacher and the homework assignment. Computer activity is
monitored remotely by the librarians and IT staff, and all
websites visited are automatically recorded by the
computer system to assure that students are on task.
Can my child wait in the library to be picked up after school?
A: The library is available after school for homework, class
assignments,
and book checkouts. If you need after school care for your child,
you can pick up an Enrichment packet from the Enrichment office
located in thecafeteria. Enrollment is on a first come first
serve basis and space maybe limited. If you have any questions
about the Enrichment program, please call Amanda DeAngelis or
Betty Ogden at 623-546-7276.
