                                                                   About the LMC

Vision & Purpose - The Vision & Purpose of the Library Media Center is to promote a positive learning environment where students can gain access to high-quality educational materials. The LMC offers over 20,000 fiction and nonfiction books, over 35 magazine titles and 3 major electronic databases that connect students to well over 3000 academic journals and periodicals from all over the world. 

Library Books - Library books are available for circulation to students with an I.D. card. Each student is allowed to check out 3 library books at a time for a  3-week period. If books are not returned on time, fines will accrue at 10 cents per day. To renew books, students must stop by the library. If a book is lost or stolen the student will have to pay the cost to replace to the book (costs vary).

Textbooks - Students are responsible for textbooks that are issued to them. It is the student's duty to put a book cover on each textbook and keep it in good condition. Free book covers are often available in the Media Center. Check all textbooks for condition. If damaged, when you receive them, you must notify the textbook clerk within the first 2 weeks of school. When returning your books at the end of the year charges may be applied for lost or damaged books. Textbook damage fees are $13, barcode damage is $3. When a student withdraws from a class, textbooks must be returned to the Media Center.

Fees - Students are financially responsible for all items that are checked out, including textbooks. Fees for lost or overdue books must be paid before students are cleared for graduation or admission to fall classes. Damage or Lost/Stolen Book Fees are paid at the ASB office. Library Fines are paid in the Media Center. ASB accepts cash and checks but no checks past April.

Net Info - All students must have a WCUSD Internet Acceptable Use Policy Release (Form 7007) on file with the Media Center to use school computers in our labs. Students will receive a "NET" stamp on their I.D. cards and are required to present  these cards in order to use the computers in any of the computer labs. When using the computers in the Media Center, I.D. Cards will be displayed on the keyboard or other visible place.

Internet Use & Email - The computers are available whenever teachers have not reserved them for use during their classes.  Internet access on campus is primarily for academic purposes. Games, shopping, and chatting are not permitted. Students are only allowed to access their school email account. Students are not allowed to access personal email accounts such as Yahoo, Hotmail, Earthlink, etc. 

Lost & Found - If clothing, books, backpacks or notebooks have been lost, check first in the Media Center. The Media Center staff maintains a Lost and Found cabinet. See Mrs. Rodriguez. If you lose a cell phone in the Library see the Dean.
