of Library: |
Fiction
(Story Books) - In a separate section on your left as
you come through the door. These may be borrowed for 2
weeks.
Non-Fiction (Factual Books) - In the main part of the
Library - arranged in the "Dewey Decimal System"
(which you will learn about). These books may be borrowed
for 1 week. |
| Borrowing
Books: |
You
may borrow or change books during your library period each
week, any day at late lunch (1.10 - 1.45pm) or after school
(3.25 - 4.00pm). All books must be put through the computer
system before being taken from the library. |
| Returning
Books: |
Books
may be returned at any time the library is open, by placing
them on the trolley at the computer desk. This is very important
as books set back on the shelves are still out in your name
until dealt with by the librarian. lost books have to be
paid for, though the money will be refunded if the book
is found. |
| CD-ROMs |
These
may be used to find out information for projects or class
work during Library Club (late lunch each day) or if library
work is completed. |
| Library
Index: |
This
is computerised, and pupils learn how to use it to trace books
during the first term. |
| Photocopying: |
Pupils
may get photocopies of information required for school, from
books and encyclopaedias during library class if the librarian
has time, or may leave requests for photocopying during the
day, to be collected later. A4 copies cost 6p, A3 copies cost
10p. |
| Library
Club*: |
Library
Club is available to pupils when they are on late lunch. As
seating is limited, only the first 30 pupils to arrive are
admitted. Pupils are reminded that while in the library they
are expected to read, find out information, use the CD ROMs
etc. not talk. Those who use the library and prove
themselves responsible are issued with a library pass, which
they must show to Staff or Prefects. |
