Before the bell:  Students are encouraged to come to the library before school to study, complete projects, use the computers for school related work and/or return, renew or check out materials.  The library is a great place, as long as, everyone works together to maintain a quiet atmosphere for learning.

Checkout Procedures:  Students must present their student IDs or have their planner with the student's barcode to check out library materials. Students may checkout 3 items for a 3 week period; they may be renewed for an additional 3 weeks. Students may not check out DVDs or reference books. iPads maybe checked out for period/daily use only and a student's ID cards is kept until the iPad is returned.

Computers:  Students may use the library computers for school related purposes only.  Subscription databases and the free Internet are available for their use.  Students are encouraged to use our subscription databases first. 

Laser Printer:  Black and white prints are 10 cents per page. (The first two pages are free.)  However, students are encouraged to analyze information to determine relevance, and to copy information into a Word document before printing. Coloring printing is not available to students.

Home Access:   The library’s subscription databases can be accessed from home by clicking on the links under this page’s Research Databases link. The username is GMSLIB and the password is PONY.

Behavior expectations: Our library is the hub of our school; the energy and activities are numerous.  Everyone is expected to remain relativity quiet and respect the overall environment of the library.  The library is a classroom and needs to be treated as such.  Students who are visiting the library during school hours and who are not accompanying by their classes need to have a pass, sign-in and work independently.
