BEHAVIOUR IN THE LIBRARY

Our Library Information Centre is a wonderful facility for the whole school community. It is expected that you will use it to support your learning, and that you will do so with respect for other students, for library staff, and for the physical space.

DO make wise use of class time that you are given to research in the library, and consult with the teacher-librarian about how best to conduct your research.

DO respect everyone's need for a quiet, peaceful environment in which to study.

DO recognize that the library is a teaching area as well, and that scheduled classes have priority for use of seating and computers.

DO leave a tidy work space for the next student – clean up after yourself!!

DO show your student I.D. when signing out resources and return them on the due date.

DO NOT sign out books for a friend, or get a friend to sign out books for you – this causes a multitude of problems. If you do not have your ID on you speak to staff at the circulation desk.

DO NOT bring food or beverages into the library (water is the only thing permitted). There is too much risk of damage to our resources when food and drink are consumed here.

LET'S WORK TOGETHER TO KEEP THE LIBRARY LEARNING ENVIRONMENT POSITIVE FOR ALL STUDENTS!
