Water is acceptable in the library, but please keep water bottles away from computers.  No other drink or food can be eaten in the library.  This includes during designated snack periods and after school.  The library is a classroom, so personally owned devices are welcome for academic use.

YES!  We love having eager and helpful students earn services hours in the library.  Please check with one of the librarians to see if there is availability for your preferred date.  Once your date is approved, you must sign up in the Library Binder.  We will initial that you have spoken with us.  If you do not speak with a librarian in advance, you may not stay for service hours.
