图书馆政策: The Head-Royce Libraries provide great spaces and extensive materials to enlighten and enrich the community. Community members are encouraged to check out or suggest materials for purchase, seek assistance with research, 研究 in a beautiful space or join together for special events.
The Head-Royce Libraries conduct an ongoing program of library skills instruction, 书会谈, and special research for classes K-12. The 读库 is centrally located between the middle and upper schools, and there is also a library for grades K-5 located in the 较低的学校. The libraries currently have over 22,000 volumes and several general and specialized Internet database subscriptions. Updated daily, these include INFOTRAC, SIRS, and the New York Times, current and archives.
In an effort to support an environment conducive to learning, 礼貌, 和尊重, 读库 users are requested to maintain the following standards:
- Maintain a clean environment including leaving food and uncovered drinks outside of the library.
- Maintain an atmosphere that allows other users to focus and 研究 by keeping conversation at a level, 字符, and length that will not disturb others. Additionally cell 电话s should be set to mute/vibrate, and calls must be taken outside.
- Use library 电脑 in accordance with the Head-Royce Acceptable Use Policy (pages 9-10 in the 外围足球的app Directory and Handbook); this includes no gaming or social network sites and no streaming media (including music and video) without faculty consent. These guidelines also extend to personal 电脑 used in the 图书馆.
- 尊重所有图书馆家具, 电脑, and other 资源; and avoid altering or removing any items.
- Use the “quiet room” exclusively for individual silent 研究, unless permission is granted by library staff for a school meeting.
- Refrain from engaging in disruptive behavior in the library.
Individuals who are not able to adhere to these standards may be asked to leave the library and may be subject to additional disciplinary action including detention or extended suspension of library privileges. Students seeking an environment for group conversation will be directed to the cafeteria or the dean's lounge. In order to maintain open communication within the Head-Royce community, parents/families and homeroom teachers will receive written notice when students are asked to leave the library or privileges are modified or revoked.
读库 is open Monday-Thursday, 8 a.m.– 5 p.m.星期五早上8点.m.–3:30 p.m. 图书馆 materials are checked out for a period of 2 weeks. 图书馆 users are notified of overdue materials through homerooms (for 较低的学校) and individual email (for Middle and 上学校s), and are responsible for replacement costs of library materials that are not returned. 图书馆 users with materials outstanding by the final due date at the end of the school year will incur a nonrefundable charge through the Business Office regardless of later return.
