Teacher Information

We invite all classes to come in and use the library computers, tables and materials. To assure a successful visit, please review the following guidelines.

To reserve the computers and/or tables for your class, please come by, email or call the library anytime between 7:15 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. We will need the following information:

• Teacher name.
• Date and time.
• If you need the library closed during lunch or first period.
• Indicate whether you will use the computers, tables or both.
• Please also indicate if you would like any books pulled and placed on a cart or put on reserve for your class.
• Make arrangements with the head librarian, Ann Lane, if you would like a presentation on using the online databases for research.

Please give us at least 24 hours notice, especially if we need to close the library during first Period or first and second lunch. When we close the library we do allow other students to study quietly in the study carrels and the back room. If you are reserving the computers only, we do allow students who have a free period to study at the tables, unless you request to have the table area closed. It is especially busy during the following periods: first, second and sixth.

The list of usernames/passwords for home access to the online databases is available from the librarians and can be copied for distribution to your class.

If you reserve the library for the last period of the day, please note that our Shadow Guests meet most days at the tables near the windows starting at 2:00 p.m.

Thank you for the information you can provide to make your visit to the library a successful one!
