• Students please make sure you have your text books.  If you are not sure that the book you have is yours please see the Librarian.  If your book is lost please check the lost and found in the Library.

• If you have any damage to your book please come to the Library as soon as possible so the Librarian can assess the damage.  Do not wait until the last day.

• You are responsible for your own books.  If your books are not returned and fines or late fees not paid, the following will take place:

Eighth grade students will not be able to go to Knott’s Berry Farm or receive their report card.

LIBRARY RULES AND GUIDELINES
All students enrolled at Calvary Chapel Christian School will be visiting and using the library. All students are expected to follow the library rules and regulations. Please read them carefully and get ready for a great year!

1. CHECK-OUT LIMIT: Initially, all students in 7th – 12th may check out one book. A student may check out additional books after presently checked-out books have been returned. Students working on special projects may check out additional books with the librarian’s permission.
2. TIME: Two weeks for 7th – 12th. Books may be renewed once. Additional renewals may be available with the permission of the librarian. The due date is to be stamped on the book and students are responsible for knowing when their books are due and returning them on time.
3. FINES: Fines are 10 cents per day per book. Student absences due to vacation, school holidays, illness, and weekends are exempt from fines. A fine of $5.00 will be assessed for any item returned with a missing or damaged barcode label. A fine of $5.00 will be assessed for any damaged or lost periodical.
4. PAYMENT OF FINES: A student may not check out any additional books until all fines have been paid.
5. LOST BOOKS: Students are to notify the librarian of any lost materials immediately. Students will be advised in writing of the replacement fee. Students may not provide replacement copies for lost or damaged items. If the lost material is found, the student will still owe overdue fines, but these will not exceed the price of the material.
6. DAMAGED MATERIALS: The amount of damage will determine the fee. The librarian makes this determination. If a student notices damages to any materials before check-out he/she must notify the librarian in order to avoid fees incurred under his/her name.
7. OUTSTANDING MATERIALS: Students who have materials that are not returned or paid for by the end of the school year will not receive diplomas or final report cards until their accounts are clear.
8. CONDUCT: The behavior rules will be explained to each class at the beginning of the school year. Parents and students are expected to be considerate of both people and materials at all times. Access to the library may be limited or withheld at the librarian’s discretion to any student whose behavior is unacceptable while visiting the library.

We have many online resources to choose from and many more to come

A NOTE TO STUDENTS REGARDING LOST BOOKS:

YOUR BOOKS ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. AS STATED IN THE STUDENT HANDBOOK YOUR NAME MUST BE IN ALL YOUR BOOKS. YOU MUST KEEP YOUR LOCK ON YOUR LOCKER AND HAVE IT LOCKED AT ALL TIMES.
WE GET MANY LOST BOOKS TURNED IN TO THE LIBRARY ON A DAILY BASIS; THEREFORE WE WILL BE IMPLEMENTING THE FOLLOWING RULES WHEN LOST BOOKS ARE BROUGHT TO US:

1ST TIME LOST: STUDENT’S NAME/DATE WILL BE
PLACED IN LOST BOOK LOG.

2ND TIME LOST: $1.00 PER LOST BOOK WILL BE
CHARGED BEFORE BEING
RETURNED TO THE OWNER.

• Cover all text books with clear contact paper which is not to be removed.
• Do not write or draw on/in your books – not even the covers. There will be a fine if this happens. If you are someone who likes to “doodle,” cover your book with a paper cover over the plastic. The paper cover can then be removed.
• Do not remove, write on, or destroy the bar code in your books. There will be a fine and possible disciplinary action if this happens (destruction of school property).
• Write your name on the label provided in your books. No funny names, drawing on labels, crossing out information, or peeling off labels. This too will receive a fine
. • Do not trade or borrow books. Books are checked out to you and you are responsible for them. If your books are not returned at the end of the semester/year, there will be a fine.
• DO NOT destroy books. You will be fined for them. • If you do not receive all of your books during “Get Your Act Together week,” go to the library the first week of school and any missing books will be issued to you.
• Students in Spanish 1 and Spanish 3 are to keep their Activity Manual as you will be using them again in Spanish 2 and Spanish 4, respectively.
• Students in 11th grade are to keep your blue Grammar & Composition Handbook because you will be using it again in 12th grade.
• If you become aware of any writing or defacing of your books, you MUST bring it to the attention of a teacher, librarian, or office staff IMMEDIATELY so that you are not fined for the damage.
