Beverage Policy Update: September 2018

Starting with school year 2018-19, with the blessing of Dr. Kieres, the EHS library will permit the consumption of beverages that accompany visiting patrons. This change is in keeping with our recent efforts to update the physical space and create an even more inviting and comfortable atmosphere that will promote both academic and social use. It will be the responsibility of library patrons to safeguard the library’s resources–as well as their own, personal property–through smart choices that help prepare young adults to navigate the modern, “beverage-everywhere” society . Secure lids and careful handling (no open containers or “tea parties,” please) are standard expectations. Reparation for accidents and/or damage will fall to the patron(s) involved.

Library Use during Mid-terms and Final Exams

(approved by Dr. Kieres on 5/30/18)

The EHS Library is available for QUIET STUDY ONLY during mid-terms and final exams and will close shortly after the last exam for the day.

Students who choose to be in the library during an exam will be expected to stay there until that exam period concludes. Lav visits are by library escort only.

NO ACCESS to/use of computers, printers or other electronics is permitted in the library during mid-term and final exams.  This includes cell phones, headphones, ipods, etc. Calculators are permitted if they are not part of a phone.

Summer Reading Information

The EHS Library houses a limited number of summer reading titles, so students interested in borrowing them are wise to do so as soon as they are available for summer circulation (Friday, June 1, 2018). After the normal school year ends, the hours of library operation are Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 2 PM. Please contact the Main Office to ensure that library personnel will be available to assist you when you visit.

Books checked out on June 1 (or later, throughout the summer) are due back on Friday, September 7, 2018.

Book check-out requires a high school student ID for upperclassmen or a middle school ID for incoming freshmen.  Students must sign in and enter through the Main Office before heading to the library for their books.
