While in the Library
--Any student(s) coming to the library need to have prior approval from the librarian. Students who arrive without permission will be sent back to class. If you have questions about this policy please see Ms. Ross or Ms. Moody. --Students in the library should respect the rights of others to use library materials, including but not limited to books, computers, printer(s) and tables. Library Materials --Please return all materials on time. 10 items may be checked out at a time and all materials have a two week checkout limit. You may renew items as long as no student has requested it --While we DO NOT charge late fees for overdue materials, students ARE responsible for paying the full replacement cost of lost items. Please see Ms. Moody or Ms. Catlett for any library dues you may owe. Library Furniture -Due to the nature of the space the library is used for communal activities like meetings and other out of school events during the week and weekend, so if you move any tables, chairs or other supplies please put everything back where you found it. Your help is greatly appreciated! |
Computer Usage
There are 24 computers available for use in library unless the library is being used for testing. Teachers may bring down an entire class by using the online reservation system to reserve the space--if you need help, please see Ms. Moody or Ms. Ross. Teachers are expected to accompany their class.
KG Resource Reservation System You MUST use computers in accordance with the KGCS Acceptable Use Policy. All computers located in the library print to a black and white printer, color printing is NOT available at this time. Although we don't currently charge for printer usage, please use print preview and be aware of which printer you are sending the paper to. |
Expectations of Behavior--Using the library is a privilege. Please respect it!
Come with a pass from the teacher you have that block and sign in to the computer located at the circulation desk. --Respect the rights of other students to study. No yelling or running and please be respectful at all times. Cell phones may be used for educational purposes. Phone calls are not allowed. The librarians reserve the right to take any phones that cause disruption per school policy. --Please do not move chairs, tables or other furniture from their current locations. If furniture needs to be moved please return it to its original location. Before you leave, push in your chairs and dispose of any trash into wastebaskets/recycling bins. Food and drinks (with a cap) are allowed in the library but not near the computers. |
Research Assistance |
Are your students writing a paper or completing a project that requires them to do research? We will be glad to come to your classroom to show your students the resources that we have to offer. Keep in mind: we require at least one week turn around in order to adequately prepare for your class.
Please contact Ms. Ross or Ms. Moody to schedule a Research Visit! |
Booktalks
Wanting to get your kids reading more? Let's do a booktalk in your classroom! This can be a highly customizable service. We can bring in new arrivals, KGHS favorites, non-fiction, or books centered around a theme or curriculum subject. PLEASE note due to the unique nature of this service we will need at least ONE WEEK NOTICE in order to set up exactly what you would like to see for your class. |
