HHS Media Center FAQ's
|
When is the Media Center open?
The media center is open on school days, Monday - Thursday from
7:45 - 4:00. On Fridays the media center closes at 3:45.
We are closed on Wednesdays when faculty meetings are held.
|
When do I need a pass?
Every student must have a pass between 8:30 and 3:30. This
includes your lunch period. Passes are to be stamped by the
time clock, placed in the basket, and students are to sign in on the
clipboard. When leaving the media center, passes need to be
stamped again and taken with the student. Passes can be given
by teachers, administrators, and the school office. Passes
from substitutes are not accepted.
|
How do I find my next book, and how do I know if it is
available?
Our card catalogue is online. It is called OPAC (Online
Public Access Catalogue) or Web Catalog. You can access OPAC
from any computer even at home. There is a link to the OPAC
from this site. OPAC tells what a book is about, where it is
located, and if it is available. If the system says there are
0 of 1 available, that means we own a copy, but it is currently
checked out. If you need help finding something to read, the
staff is always available to make suggestions.
|
What do the labels on the books mean?
F= Fiction; B=Biography; SC=Story Collection; FL=Foreign
Language; PLA=Playaway (audiobook); R=Reference; if there is just a
number then the book is nonfiction.
|
How long can I keep a book, and what are the fines?
Fiction, biography, story collection, foreign language, and
nonfiction can be checked out for two weeks at a time. Overdue
books are charged $0.10 a day excluding weekends and holidays.
Reference material is only available for overnight checkouts.
They can be checked out at 3:00, and they must be returned by 8:30
the next morning. After this time, they will be considered
overdue and are fined $0.10 an hour during school hours.
Playaways can be checked out for two weeks, and their overdue fine
is $0.50 a day. Books can be renewed one time, which allows
the student one month to read the book. You do not have to
have the book to have it renewed. If you think you have lost
your book, please come talk with us. We will try to work with
you.
|
Can I use my cell phone in the media center?
Cell phones may not be used in the media center at anytime,
including before and after school. Students are reading and
working in the media center, and the ringers and talking are a
distraction.
|
Can I have my drink in the media center?
Food and drink is not allowed in the media center. Your
drink can be left at the circulation desk to be retrieved when you
leave.
