*On days when the librarian has no meetings, the library will remain open for an additional 20 minutes after school.
Using the library during school hours, lunch and open 8th period:
- If you are coming from a class you need to have a pass. Punch your pass in the time clock when you enter and sign in. Punch the pass in the time clock and sign out when you leave.
- If you are on lunch, sign in clearly and indicate that you are on lunch. The librarian can issue you a lunch pass that will allow you to go back and forth from the library to the cafeteria. The pass is good for the month in which it is issued.
- If you do not have an 8th hour, you are welcome to stay in the library, but you must be ON-TIME. That means arrive before the 8th hour second bell. If you arrive later you will need a pass or a late slip.
CHECKOUTS:
- Most library books have a two week loan period. If a student needs a book longer, she can renew it by bringing the book to the library for another two week loan, or stopping by with a phot ID so the librarian can renew the book online.
- A student may have up to 5 items at a time. A photo ID is needed for check-out.
- Books may be returned to the library or the locked book box on the 2nd floor right outside the main office.
- If a student has fines over $3.00 he can not check out any more items until the fine is paid down to $3.00 or less.
- Students are responsible for the books they check out; students will be charged the price of replacing lost or destroyed books.
- Overdue notices are sent out periodically - but students are responsible for returning books even if they are not notified that items are overdue.
- Fines need to be settled toward the end of the year or students will be unable to attend prom or graduation ceremonies.
FINES:
- $.05 a day for most overdue items.
- $.0.25 a day for overdue 3-day/reserve.
- $1.00 a day for overdue reference
COMPUTERS:

Searching and Researching:
The UHS Library is fully searchable from any Internet terminal. If you are not in the library, Google "UHS Library" to find our web page. The UHS Library also subscribes to several research databases which are for staff and students. When accessing these databases from outside the school building you will need usernames and/or passwords. The librarian will give these to you, but they must not be posted on any public sites.
FOOD and DRINK:
Students may snack at the library tables but must clean up after themselves. Any drinks must have secure, screw-on lids, and dairy drinks are NOT allowed. The library is not the lunch room; lunches should be eaten in the commons or outside, not in the library. Foor and drink are not allowed at the computers.
