How do I check out books?

*  Bring your books to the circulation desk and be prepared to give your last
name.
*  Fiction and nonfiction books may be checked out for a period of two weeks.
 If you need to renew 
    your book you may do so for an additional two weeks.
*  Magazines may also be checked out for one week.  Please remember to return
the magazine in its bag, there is a 50 cent fine for failing to return the bag.  
*  Reference books may be checked out for two days.
*  Books on tape, Book Bundles, or Playaways may be checked out for two weeks.
 Please bring back
    all tapes and try to remember to rewind! Tape players are also available
for checkout.
*  Videos/DVDs are available only for classroom checkout by teachers.
*  Can't find what you need?  We keep a wish list and will order books that
are appropriate and that
    will appeal to many students.
*  Is the book you want checked out?  We can put a hold on it for you.  See us
at the circulation desk.
*  Overdue notices are sent out once a month.  Be considerate and return
materials on time so that
    others may enjoy them.  You may not be able to check out any new materials
until your record has
    been cleared.
