Books
Books are checked out for a 4-week period and can be renewed twice. Certain books are only available “overnight”. There is no limit to the number of books a student may check out. If a whole class needs the same materials, these will be put on reserve.
Overdue books
An automatic notice will be sent to the student and a parent 2 days prior to returning or renewing the books. Students will receive another notice if they have an overdue. It is the responsibility of the students to return or renew all books on time.
To ensure a respectful and studious atmosphere, students doing work with classmates are requested to use the study room where talking and sharing is permitted.
Students can bring bottled water to the library. However, coffee and food are not acceptable. We ask that cell phones be used outside the library and kept in vibration mode.
Computer use and Internet access
The Upper School Division has adopted a Bring Your Own Device incentive. All students must have signed the school Acceptable Operating Practices (AOP).
Note that student learning takes priority over everything else. Teachers who have reserved the space for their classes have the highest priority. E-mailing and social networkig should be brief.
Photocopying / Printing / Scanning
Students have access to cloud printing on machines located in the US library and in Building 5, in the Arts wing.
