How do I know if the media center owns a book that I want?
You can search for books, videos, or audio books in the ATCMHS
Media Center or any Broward County school library by searching in
our online catalog, Destiny. You may also use SUNLINK to locate
books and materials in any school library in Florida. Both
Destiny and Sunlink can be accessed through links on the Virtual
Information Center page of this website.
How can I request a book that I would like?
Leave a book request in Room 2401 on the checkout sheet OR you
mail e-mail Mrs. Rohrbach, the media specialist.
How do I return a book to the media center?
Please return your library books to the Book Drop located just
inside the door of Room 2401. Adult students may return their
books to the Building 10 TRC.
If I lose my ID, how can I get a replacement?
Please report to Ms. Boykin in room 2418 either before or after
school. You must pay a $5.00 replacement charge.
How can I participate in Reading Across Broward?
Be sure to report the books you read by completing the
"Reading Across Broward" survey sheet. You may e-mail
this to Mrs. Rohrbach, or print it and drop it off in Room 2401.
Check the RAB page for details about due dates, etc.
What is Florida Teens Read?
Florida Teens Read is the statewide reading program for Florida
high school students. Read books from the current list of 15
titles and vote online for your favorite in May. The website for
voting will be announced in school and posted on this page in the
Spring.
What is Battle of the Books?
Each year a team of ten students are recruited to participate in
the Battle of the Books, a competition based on the Florida Teens
Read books. The team practices during lunch and after school for
several months to prepare for the all-day event in April. If you
are interested, contact Mrs. Rohrbach or Mrs. Lynch.
How long is the checkout period?
You may keep a book for two weeks. If you need more time, you
need to renew the book.
How do I renew a book?
You may renew a book simply by writing your name and the title of
the book on the checkout form in Room 2401.
Do you charge a fee for overdue books?
No! But if you do not return a book, or return it in poor
condition, you will be charged the replacement cost of the book.
This will become an obligation on your student record.
