When requested by the teacher, the SSAs will set up the equipment so it is ready for use. Such services include fixing torn pages, re-attaching book covers, cleaning video heads, and removing videotapes from hungry VCRs. SSAs operate the machine, monitored by Mrs. Tre. The students receive credit for their service, and spend one-third of the semester in the library as one of three support areas of the school. Most library books are loaned for 15 school days, and magazine back-issues are loaned for ten school days.
Overdue charges are five cents per school day.
Reference books, current magazines and most nonprint materials such as videos are loaned for overnight only. Students are responsible for returning their loaned materials on time to the library. The day after an item is overdue, an overdue notice will be issued. Students who do not return or renew their materials by the fifth day will serve daily detentions in the library after school until their obligations are cleared.
