Library Services

The library offers a wide range of services to students and staff that extends well beyond our collection of print books. The Library Services link provides a convenient and comprehensive list of the services offered by the library.

Passes to the Library

• Passes are not needed before school, after school, or during lunch.

• All students, whether from a class or on a student aide assignment, must present a pass upon entering the library.

• Students are to sign in when entering the library. The library retains passes on-file until the end of the school year.

• Students are to remain in the library for the entire period once signed in unless their teacher specifies otherwise on the pass.

• A teacher may send a maximum of five (05) students from an academic class to the library on a pass. Study halls are limited to four (04) students. Teachers should arrange a class visit if more than five (05) students need to come to the library during any one period.

• Study hall students must follow the established procedure for accessing the library during study hall. The procedure is posted in the library and available below.

Library Access for Study Hall Students

• The library is for quiet study, research, or recreational reading only. Socializing and non-academic activities are not appropriate for the library.

• Students who need to access the library during their study hall must obtain a pass from their study hall teacher.

• There is a firm limit of four (04) students who may be sent to the library on a pass from a study hall. If more than four students want to sign up at one time, there is an agreed upon order of priority for student signups:

  • 1. Students with an academic need to use library resources not available in study hall.

  • 2. Students who would like to study quietly, read or check out a book in the library.

  • 3. Students who would like to use the library for a personal research project or topic of study.

• There will be times when the library is closed or otherwise unavailable to study hall students. This is usually due to use by academic classes, reservations by other groups, or sudden schedule changes. Study halls will be notified via email as soon as possible when the library will not be available. A student with an academic need requiring library access during times when the library is closed may be issued a pass at the discretion of the librarian.

• Violation of the Rules of Conduct or Parent/Student Handbook may result in the temporary or permanent loss of library privileges.

The Library's Innovation Space provides students and staff with two types of collaboration space.

Studio Space
The Studio Space is workspace that is available for students to work either individually, or collaboratively as a group.

» Students can create and make the final product for their project or presentation.

» In keeping with the mission of the Library Media Center, students are able to create and edit digital audio, digital images, and digital video projects. A green screen is also available to assist with creating videos.

» Craft supplies traditionally provided by the HHS library are also available. Supplies include color paper, glue sticks, markers, crayons, colored pencils, stencils, and basic office supplies such as a stapler, scissors, paper clips, and tape. The library does not provide school supplies, poster boards, or other items that students are traditionally expected to supply from home.
