Borrowing and returning resources
Almost all resources may be borrowed. Ask the librarians for help. All pupils have 2 library tickets with which they can borrow resources for up to 3 weeks at a time. Pupils in S5 and S6 also have a LONG LOAN TICKET with which they can borrow several resources for up to a term at a time. Resources should be returned within the loan period and all items may be renewed as long as the item has not been requested by another user.
Overdues
All resources should be returned by the end of the loan period. If they are not returned they are then overdue and lists will be sent to your register teacher and guidance teacher to ask you to return them. If resources are still not returned then these lists are passed to the Senior Management Team. If you lose any resources you will be asked to pay for them.
Check to see if you have any overdue library books.
