Frequently Asked Questions:
How Can I get a library card?
Each student and staff member is assigned a library card that remains in the library. Parents, Student Teachers and other members of the Prairie Community can sign up for a card at the circulation desk.
How do I borrow books?
If a staff member is at the circulation desk, just bring your materials to the desk and you will be checked out. If no one is at the desk, you may leave your name on a piece of paper with the materials and a staff member will check them out when they return. The library is open during the school day.
What are my responsibilities when I check out materials?
When you check out materials from the library, you make an agreement to return those materials on time. You also agree to take care of those materials. If a book becomes lost or damaged, please notify the librarian.
What about fines?
The school library does not collect fines for late books. Fines are collected for lost or damaged books. This fine is usually the replacement price of the book.
Where do I return materials?
When the library is open, put the materials in the slot in the front of the desk. If the library is closed, return them to the office with a request that they be sent to the library.
How do I find books?
We use an online catalog called OPAC. If you need help using it, please ask for help. Of course, you may always get assistance from the librarian.
What if a book is not on the shelf?
If you cannot find a book that is listed as "in", check with the staff. The book may be misshelved, in repair or missing. Ask the librarian for help. If a book is checked out, we will gladly place a hold on the book and notify you when it is in.
Can I check out videos?
Audio-visual materials, including videos, are available for teacher check-out only.
