Circulation Policies
The
library at Mount Saint Joseph Academy has a circulating collection of approximately
12,000 print and multimedia resources. In accordance with the mission
of the library, we are “dedicated to serving the information needs of the
school community by providing free and open access to our print and electronic
media resources.” All members of the Mount community are encouraged
to borrow and use items from the collection. Borrowers must adhere
to the following guidelines:
Borrowers may check out books
for a period of two weeks.
To check out items, borrowers
should record their name and homeroom number on the library card.
Borrowers may renew items twice.
Borrowers may check out a maximum
of six items at a time.
Borrowers must return or renew
items on or before the due date, which is stamped on the date due slip.
If an item is overdue, borrowers
must pay a late fee of .10 cents per school day up to a total of $5.00.
If a borrower hasn’t returned
an overdue book, no additional items may be checked out until the overdue
item is returned and the fee is paid.
As a courtesy, the librarian
will distribute overdue notices to students via the homeroom teachers on
a monthly basis. Failure to receive a notice from the librarian does
not exempt borrowers from paying overdue fees.
Borrowers should return all
items in good condition.
If an item has been damaged
during the time it was in circulation, the borrower must pay to have the
item repaired or replaced.
If an item is lost, the borrower
must pay to have the item replaced.
Students must return all borrowed
items and pay all outstanding fees in order to be eligible to take final
exams.
