LIBRARY OPENING HOURS

The library is open from

• 8:00am until 4:15pm Monday - Thursday
• 8:00am until 3:45pm on Friday

Please note that there is an expectation that students will be productively occupied when using the library before or after school.

LOANS

Students may borrow up to three books at any time for a loan period of three weeks. Books may be renewed, if so desired.

OVERDUE BOOKS

Students are asked to be considerate of others and return items as soon as they are finished with them. If students have overdue books, they should be returned or renewed before any new items are borrowed. Students will receive regular reminders when their books are overdue via a direct message on SEQTA. At the end of each semester, parents/carers will be notified of outstanding books.

LOST/DAMAGED BOOKS

Students should speak to a library staff member if they have damaged a book or if they think it is lost. Each incident will be assessed individually, but generally, payment will be requested for books that are lost or damaged, so that replacement copies may be purchased.

LUNCHTIMES

It has been heartening to see so many students in the library at lunchtimes, participating in various activities, such as:

• reading books or magazines
• homework
• computer work
• board games
• photocopying or printing
• borrowing or returning books.
