Access
The Media Center is open during school hours. Students are not permitted to be in the Media Center during homeroom and morning announcements. Students need a signed grid or classroom pass to visit the media center during class periods. Students must sign in at the sign-in computer, and return to class before transitions and dismissal. Many of our resources are always accessible online, including Destiny Discover, digital resources, and e-books. Students are encouraged to join the Media Center Canvas page for access to more information and resources. See the Media Specialist if you need an invite to join. Please be advised, Media Center hours may vary due to testing, meetings, and other events or circumstances. If the Media Center door is closed and the lights are dimmed or off, please return to class. Do not enter unsupervised.

Book Checkout
Students may check out three physical books at a time. Students can check out one e-book at a time. Books are checked out for two weeks. Students may renew a book one time and can place one book on hold at a time. Students should visit Destiny Discover through the CCPS portal to view the books available in the collection. Books should be returned to the circulation desk in the media center.

Holds
For physical books, please place the book on hold in Destiny Discover that you would like to checkout. Ms. Rawls will pull the book and notify you via email when the hold is ready. Please do not come pick up the book until you have been notified via email that it is ready. Holds not picked up within 3 business days will be reshelved.

 

Lost or Damaged Books
If a book is lost or damaged, students will be fined for the replacement cost of the item. Overdue books must be returned and fees must be paid for any lost or damaged books before the student can check out more items. Parents will be contacted for students who have severely overdue books.

Expectations
No food or drinks in the media center. Clean up after yourself by pushing in chairs, putting materials back, collecting all your personal items, and throwing trash away. Be respectful of others and remember that the media center is a quiet, academic setting. Books and other library items should be treated with care. Remember that you are borrowing these items, and the expectation is that you return them in good, working condition. 

Free Books
We have a Readbox, located in the front of the Media Center, which contains books for students to take for free. They do not have to be returned. We also have a Little Free Library, located outside at the end of the bus lane, which contains books for students, as well.

Technology
There are three student desktop computers available for use in the media center. Computers are only for academic purposes. There is no student printer at this time. Students may ask their teachers to print for them. They may also ask the Media Specialist. Students may only print school related materials as needed, and within reason. Color printing is not always available. Printing is not permitted during class change/transitions.
