ATMOSPHERE
Students are encouraged to take advantage of the library program by using the
educational resources available to all members of the Holliston High School
community. If, in the course of visiting the library students have any
questions about the location and/or availability of materials, they are asked
to seek assistance from the librarian. While in the library students are
expected to respect the quiet, learning atmosphere of the facility by
displaying appropriate behavior. This policy is in place for the benefit of
all students, staff, parents, friends, and visitors.
