  8. Library Access for Classes • The library uses flexible scheduling. A flexible, open schedule provides easy access when needed by individuals, groups and classes. • Flexible scheduling ensures that the library program is integrated into all areas of the curriculum. • Teachers schedule class time on the library calendar on the circulation desk. Teachers are required to fill out a simple visit planning form

  9. Library Access: Individual Students • Teachers can send 2 students at a time on passes to get books or to research. Please specify if computer use is allowed. • We try to make sure students use their time well, but cannot always ensure that they are timely. It is helpful if you give a “return time” on passes • We do not write late passes. Students are responsible for getting to class on time • The bathrooms are for library patrons only. Do not send students to use bathrooms.
