Lost books and materials will be charged according to the cost.
Student Use of the Library
The library is the preferred site for quiet study during a student’s study hall period. In order to use the library during the school day, a student must come to the library before or after school and sign the roster for the period he or she has study hall. Students in the library for their study hall may sign up for the same period study hall for the following day at the beginning of each period. This must be done on a day-to-day basis. The student should report directly to the library for the study hall period that they signed up to attend and check off their name as they enter the library. Students will only be admitted to the library if their name appears on the roster. Students may also use the library before school from 7:30 - 8:00 a.m. and after school from dismissal to 3:30 p.m. on Monday – Thursday and 3:00 p.m. on Fridays.
To check out library materials, a student must present his or her student I.D. at the circulation desk.
Computer availability in the library varies from day to day. Students should check availability with the librarians the morning they intend to use the computers. Students should be aware that they presently are not permitted to access their private email accounts from the library computers; therefore, papers and other assignments that need to be accessed or printed should be placed on a flash drive for accessibility on the library computers.
Student Behavior in the Library
Students who have signed up for the library must remain there for the entire period. Passes to restroom and lockers will not be given except in emergency situations. Quiet, individual study is expected at all time and all rules, as stated in the Padua Parent/Student Handbook must be followed. Food and drinks are not permitted in the library. Students who so not adhere to the rules of the library may be issued detentions and/or be prohibited from using the library. The library is intended to provide students and/or small groups a common place to gather for the productive completion of academic and/or extracurricular endeavors.
LOBBY
With the addition of two new public entrances for the Padua Franciscan Community, certain behavior and rules are expected to be followed by both students and any individuals who may enter the building.
Please be advised that no food or drink is to be consumed while in either the front Lobby or the back Lobby. The consumption of food or drink is strictly prohibited when using these spaces, and if a student wishes to eat, they can do so in the cafeteria.
All students and individuals are also required to be respectful of any and all furniture that may be placed in either Lobby space. Both entrances are used as dual spaces, and for this reason, any student who is caught using the furniture in a way that is deemed inappropriate will be given a detention. The administration has the right to add additional consequences if behavior deems it necessary.
LOCKER DECORATION POLICY
Locker decoration is permitted under limited circumstances only. Locker decorations by approved student groups must be with moderator supervision. Any other decoration (e.g. birthday celebrations) must be pre- approved by the Assistant Principal of Young Men or Young Women. Any form of writing or marking directly on the locker surface is prohibited. Blue tape is the only acceptable adhesive for decorating lockers. Confetti, glitter, and balloons are not to be used. Unauthorized locker decoration may be considered vandalism and punishable by suspension. If permission has been obtained to decorate lockers, this must be done under proper supervision and completed before 8:00 p.m. Any interior decoration must be in moderation and good taste. Noncompliance will result in detentions. No lewd or suggestive pictures are permitted. All lockers decorations will be removed on Friday or the last school day of each week.
