Eisenhower Library Mission Statement
To help students and staff become lifelong learners and effective users of ideas and information, we accomplish this mission by:
- Providing a current, relevant collection of books, audio books, and other media.
- Providing open, flexible access to the library collection for the school community.
- Collaborating with teachers to teach information literacy skills within their curriculum and as a part of library-based projects.
- Fostering a love of literature through reading incentive programs such as the Lone Star Readers, Ike book clubs, and trivia contests.
- Encouraging students and faculty to be lifelong learners through special programs and events, such as author visits and Book Fairs.
- Providing access to the Internet and other electronic information resources, with instruction for their use.
- Supporting the curriculum and Campus Plan through collaborative teaching and collection development.
Hours
7:45 - 3:45 daily
Phone: 442-0500 ext. 239/240
We are not open before school when
we have faculty meetings (usually 1st and 3rd Wednesdays).
Occasionally we are closed before or after school because of a
meeting or special event.
Borrowing & Fines Policies
- Students may check out up to four books at a time for a two-week period. Due to popularity and availability, we ask students to check out a limit of 1 audio book or Lone Star title at a time. Reference books may NOT be checked out, unless arranged with the library staff.
- Students may renew an item or items before or on the due date if they need more time, but not if the item is overdue.
- If there is a hold/request for a particular or popular item currently checked out, students may not be able to renew that item, depending on the situation; the library staff will decide on renewals on a case-by-case basis to provide fair access to materials for all students and faculty.
- If a student has an overdue item, and has also placed a hold/is on a waiting list for an item, s/he may be bumped to the end of the waiting list for any holds until the overdue items are returned and any fines cleared.
- There is a 10 school-day grace period after the due date before fines are charged for overdue items. Fees charged after the 10 school-day grace period are $.10/day per item. Payments for fines can be made via cash or check, made out to Eisenhower Middle School.
- If students are unable to pay a fine, arrangements can be made with the library staff to volunteer in the library until their fines are cleared.
- Any fines or lost materials must be cleared/paid for before students' borrowing privileges are resumed.
- Parents may check out books.
Computer Information
Students accessing the Internet in the Library are required to have a AUP/permission form on file. Internet access in the library is limited to school-related assignments and is not for personal entertainment purposes.
Besides saving documents to their personal network folders, students should save their documents to their own flash drive/USB key, a floppy disk, or a CD.
