HAMMOND HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY

    The library is open continuously from 7:20 A.M. until 2:45 P.M. All students who use the library are expected to observe the rules of correct behavior and consideration for others. Those who fail to do this may be denied the privilege of use.
    A student must have a library pass signed by a teacher in order to work in the library during class time. A student must work on an assignment for that particular class while in the library. However, during the last 15 minutes of a class period, a student may work on anything. No pass is necessary before school, after school, or during a student’s lunch period.
    When a book becomes overdue, notices are sent to the student. If the obligation is not cleared after the 3rd notice, library privileges are suspended. Fines are charged on overdue books: $ .05 per day for regular books; $.25 per day for overnight books.
    Internet access is available on the library’s 36 computers. Each student must have a signed copy of the Tangipahoa Parish School System’s Internet Acceptable Use Policy on file in the library in order to be issued an Internet card. This card must be presented each time the student wishes to use a computer in the library. Students are expected to abide by all conditions of this contract, which must be signed by both the student and a parent. No e-mail or chatroom use is allowed. No floppy discs may be used without the permission of a librarian. Any violation of usage rules may result in permanent loss of computer privileges.
    Certain special services are available in the library. Copies and computer printouts are available for $.10 per page. Lamination is available for $.50 per foot.

TEXTBOOKS
    All basic textbooks are loaned to the student for his/her use during the school year. Workbooks and other supplies are paid for by the student. Many of the textbooks cost $50 or more. Students will be notified of fees at the beginning of school. If textbooks are lost or damaged, the student will be required to pay for them before receiving the year-end report card. In addition, these fees will have to be cleared before the beginning of the school year.
