BOOKS

Q: What do I need to borrow books from the AHS Library?

A: As long as you are a current AHS student (including ILC), you don't need anything to borrow books. If you present your school ID card, it is faster. ;)

Q: How many books may I check out at one time?

A: You may borrow 5 books at a time.

Q: How long may I keep my library book(s)?

A: Books are always due 2 weeks after you check them out.

Q: How do I know when a book is due?

A: We'll give you a "date due" slip at checkout, to use as a bookmark. The due date is stamped at the top.

Q: How do I return my library book(s)?

A: You may drop them in the book return slot in the door, in the book return slot in the library counter, or you may hand your book(s) directly to Mr. Kovac.

Q: What if I'm not finished reading by the time a book is due?

A: If you need more time, you may "renew" it for another 2 weeks.

Q: Do I have to pay if I return books late?

A: There is a fine of 10 cents per day for late books, not counting weekends or holidays. (You may return your book and pay later, if you don't have cash at the time.)

NOTE: If a book is damaged, you will need to pay a fine. If the book is no longer usable, you must pay the replacement cost of the book.

COMPUTERS

Q: How many computers are there in the AHS Library for students to use?

A: There are 21 computers available for student use. 19 of them may be used for school assignments, including printing. 2 of the computers are library search stations, on which you may check our library database by author, title, subject, keyword, or even AR Reading Level.

PRINTING

Q: What kind of printing may I do in the library?

A: There is black & white printing available from 19 of the student computers. You may also request color printing by emailing or sharing files with Mr. Kovac. All printing MUST be for school assignments.

NOTE: There is a photocopier available on request for small jobs. (1 or two pages)
