2009 Library Rituals and Routines

In the new year, all students who visit the library will be asked to sign-in unless they come with their entire class and their teacher. The sign-in sheet fields for you to fill in will be your class, your name, the date, the period, and your purpose for visiting the library. This is so that I can keep more detailed records of library traffic.

Also, please be reminded that in 2009, students that visit the library will no longer be aloud to come in groups at lunch time. Only two students, per class, per day will be allowed in at lunch. Do not ask for a pass for three or more from your teacher. Groups of three or more will be turned away and sent down to the cafeteria. Additionally, when the library has reached capacity (30 students), no more students will be allowed to enter.

These rules are a necessity because of the need to maintain a quiet reading and study space in our library media center. Rowdy behavior, inappropriate behavior and loud talking are not acceptable in a library environment. Please do not take it personally. Ms. Bryan and I enjoy seeing you and love that you want to visit the library. However, we just don't have the resources to manage the space without sticter enforcement of rituals and routines.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Your friendly librarian,

Ms. O

p.s. Obama books will be here soon!
