The Library Media Center is a state-of-the-art learning center designed to provide students with both the print and electronic resources necessary for their research. Students are encouraged to use the LMC before and after school as well as during the school day. Students are expected to work quietly in the library. Disruptive noise, headphones, cellphones, sleeping and card playing are not allowed. No food or drink is permitted in the LMC. All school rules, including the dress code, apply in the LMC during operating hours.
With a current student ID, books from the general collection may be checked out for two weeks and renewed for an additional two weeks as long as no other student has requested the book. Date due cards are placed in the book pocket indicating when the book must be returned. Students are responsible for returning all materials on time. A fine of five cents per day per item will be charged for overdue materials. Students are also required to pay for any damaged or lost items.
Students are responsible for LMC materials that they check out and are required to pay for damaged or lost items. Theft and mutilation of LMC materials, equipment, or furniture shall be regarded as a serious offense.

Students may create 3-D designs using www.Tinkercad.com or 2-D designs for the die cutter using Cricut design software. Beginning workshops are regularly offered for students wishing assistance in learning the design programs.
The Lost & Found is located at the circulation desk of the LMC. Students should put their name on all their books, calculators, notebooks, etc. so that the items can be claimed if lost.
