Dear parents,
We invite you to enjoy the Secondary Library. Please do visit us to browse, ask questions, seek guidance to support your child's reading, or simply to learn about our space
The ideal time to visit the Secondary Library is after school hours between 3:00-4:00. During school hours (7:30-3:00) the library is a classroom, so your understanding is appreciated.
Because this is a teaching and learning space, we ask that you follow the same expectations we have for the students. When visiting the library, please model and support these standards. It is helpful for students to see.

*Rather than charging fees for overdue materials, we ask that you return or renew items. You will not be allowed to check out any additional items if you have anything overdue or have lost/damaged a book. The rule of thumb: if you expect to check something out, take care of your obligations.
**If a missing or damaged item is part of a set and we are not able to replace the missing portion, then you need to pay for the replacement of the entire set, which means the cost may be significantly higher. This applies to both books and AV materials.
We welcome you to enjoy the L3 and L4 Library spaces from 7:30am to 4:00pm. Please peruse our books collection, relax with friends, play board games, or use the quiet study space. There are many options for you within the Library.
As a reminder, per our school wide Responsible Use Policy, cell phones should not be seen during school hours.
Per Technology Responsible Use Policy, regarding student laptop use in the Secondary Library:
We encourage students to refrain from accessing and playing video games during the school day.
