BEHAVIOR GUIDELINES FOR AFTER-SCHOOL LIBRARY VISITORS

Students who wish to spend time in the library after school need to follow our guidelines. 

We do not require absolute ssssh! quiet, but you need to be reasonably quiet.

No running, horseplay, or disruptive behavior.

Limit trips to the restrooms to one person at a time per restroom.  We do not want to lock the restrooms and have to check out keys, but if there is a problem, this could happen.

We do not forbid snacks, but if you make a mess, we will forbid them.  Keep them away from the computers as much as possible.

Telephones may be used only with permission, and calls must be short.

If you check out computer headphones and do not return them when you leave, you will mot be allowed headphones for two days.

Chat rooms are not allowed.  If you are caught in a chat room (and you WILL be caught eventually) you will lose computer privileges for a week.

Bring your own school supplies; there is a limit to what we can furnish you.  Remember that we charge ten cents per page for computer printouts in black and white and a quarter for color printouts.  Do not print things you do not intend to pay for, and remember to ask the library staff before printing in color.

DVDs may be watched on the computers, but only G and PG movies may be watched in the children's room, and PG-13 in the adult and young adult rooms.  No one may watch R-rated movies on the library computers.

If the library staff finds you disobeying the rules, you will be warned.  If you continue to behave in an unacceptable manner, your parents and your school will be informed, and your library privileges may be suspended for a period of time.

Your signature and your parent's signature will indicate that you understand the behavior that is expected of you in the library and the consequences if you do not behave accordingly.

Please sign the form and have your parent sign it, and return it to the library.  Forms are available at the library or use this form.
