Library Rules and Check Out Policies
Remember: Everyone
has a
right to
learn. Please
respect
yourselves, others, and library property!
1. You must have a pass to visit the
library during
class
or lunch. You do not need a pass before school, after school, or
during break. The library is open from 7:30 to 3:00 pm (
later
with librarian's permission).
2. You must have your ID card with
you to
check out
books
or use the computers.
3. During class visits please sit at your assigned
table.
4. Remember why you're here and use your
time wisely.
5. We are here to help you, but try to be an
independent
learner.
Use OPAC (Riverglen's online public access catalogue) to find
library
materials.
6. You are allowed four (4) books
at any
one
time.
Please return them promptly and in good condition. You may check
out books for four (4) weeks. Books may be renewed
if they are not on hold for another patron. Renewals must be done
with the book in hand (so that we know that it is not lost). If a
book is late or lost, your loaning privileges will be suspended until
the book is paid for or returned. We do not charge late fines,
but
a book that is overdue by more than 5 days is considered lost.
A bill will be sent to your house asking for payment for the lost book.
7. Internet privileges should not be
abused. Please
abide
by the District's Acceptable Use Policy (no email, chat room, games
during
class time, or inappropriate sites). Violations will result in
loss
of computer privileges in the library (and the rest of the school as
well).
8. You may print school work for free in the
library.
But for personal use, remember to bring money if you want to print
pages from a computer. Black and white copies are 10
cents per page. Color copies are 20 cents per page.
9. NO food or drink is allowed in
the
library (except
for special meetings approved by the librarian. Students
attending
the Friday Activity Club may also eat their lunch in the
library). Candy and gum are never allowed in the
library.
10. Help us keep this beautiful library clean.
Please
pick up after yourself!

The American Library Association affirms that
all libraries are forums for information and ideas, and that the
following basic policies should guide their services.
I.
Books
and
other library resources should be provided for the interest,
information, and enlightenment of all people of the
community the library serves. Materials should not be
excluded because of the origin, background, or views of those
contributing to their creation.
II.
Libraries
should provide materials and information presenting all points of
view on current and historical issues. Materials should not
be proscribed or removed because of partisan or doctrinal
disapproval.
III.
Libraries
should challenge censorship in the fulfillment of their
responsibility to provide information and enlightenment.
IV.
Libraries
should cooperate with all persons and groups concerned with
resisting
abridgment of free
expression
and free
access to ideas.
V.
A
person’s
right to use a library should not be denied or abridged because
of origin, age, background, or views.
VI.
Libraries
which make exhibit spaces and meeting rooms available to the
public they serve should make such facilities available on
an equitable basis, regardless of the beliefs or affiliations of
individuals or groups requesting their use.

Riverglen
Junior High Library Mission Statement
The
Mission of
the Riverglen Junior
High School Library Media Program is to encourage the students and
staff to be effective users of ideas and information, and to foster a
love of reading.
This
mission
is accomplished:
by
providing
intellectual and
physical access to materials in all formats
by
providing
instruction to foster
competence and stimulate interest in reading, viewing and
using information and
ideas
and
by
working
with other educators to
design learning strategies to meet the needs of
individual
students.
Adapted
from AASL and AECT
1988/98 as published in Information Power: Building Partnerships for
Learning.
"Today
this
mission focuses on
offering programs and services that are centered on information
literacy and that are designed around active, authentic student
learning as described in information literacy standards for student
learning."
These
goals,
in summary, are:
1. To
provide
intellectual access to
information through learning activities integrated into the curriculum
and develop student abilities to access, think through and communicate
information in all formats and content areas.
2. To
provide
physical access to
information through
a. maintaining a local
collection
and
b. maintaining access to
sources
outside the media center.
3. To
provide
learning experiences
that encourage students to be "discriminating consumers" and "skilled
creators" of information.
4. To
help
teachers and others plan
effectively for media and information instruction activities.
5. To
encourage lifelong learning
and reading for pleasure.
6. To
provide
a program that
functions as the information center of the school with integrated and
interdisciplinary learning activities in school and access to
additional information beyond the program.
7. To
provide a broad range of
resources and diverse perspectives in support of intellectual freedom
and responsible citizenship, both prerequisites to maintaining
democracy.
