Library FAQS

• How many books can I check out?
  • Our current policy is two books per student.  If additional titles are required for research, arrangements can be made by speaking with Mrs. Fultz.
• How long can I keep a book before I have to renew it?
  • Three weeks.  You can renew for an additional three weeks. Because of high demand, graphic novels are not renewable.
• Do I need a library card?
  • Nope, just your name and a smile.
• What do I use to find a book in the library?
  • ISearch is the name of the library catalog.  You can access it through the Library Canvas or the school's website.  If you are prompted for a user id and password you will use:
    • • user id: troy
      • password: trojans
• What should I do if I can't find my library book?
  • First make sure you've checked all of the following:  your classrooms, your car, under your bed, in your locker and any book shelves you may have at home.  If you still can't locate the book, inform Mrs. Fultz.  Generally, the lost book will either have to be paid for or replaced before check out privileges are restored.
