Please remember that our book collection serves a wide range of ages.

• There are books identified as “juvenile”, “young adult”, and “adult” so choose wisely. Not everything on our shelves may be appropriate for a particular student.
• We want to support readers to develop the skills needed to make appropriate choices, so feel free to ask for advice.

Help us to keep the resources well organized so things are easy to find.

• When you are browsing, use the paint sticks to mark the location on the shelf where the book originally was.
• If you notice something out of place, please let one of the Commons staff know.
• If there is a book you think we should have in our collection, please let one of the Commons staff know the title and author – we have a request list on the go.

Bring your student ID cards to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the sign out process

• The standard sign out is for 2 weeks.
• Books can be renewed, unless there is a hold on it.
• If you want to reserve a book, please talk to one of the Learning Commons staff. Check periodically to see whether it has come in and if it has, sign it out.

Be thoughtful about the number of resources that you sign out at a time.

• Though the total number of items signed out (textbooks, library books, and other resources) is limited to 15, most of the time you will not want to have that many things out… too easy to lose/misplace things and not fair to others.

Please note that students are financially responsible for any lost or damaged resources that they have signed out.
