HOURS: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday: 7:15 AM to 3:30 PM. Tuesday and Thursday: 7:15 AM to 4:00 PM. (Subject to change)

We will be closed during faculty/staff meetings, immediately after school on district/teacher In-service days, and for district meetings. Due to the fact that there will be some “special” days, please check the Main Library doors for the closing times.

Students can come to the library before school, during lunch, and after school without a pass. During class, students must have the official hall pass. If more than one student is coming to the library from a teacher's class, the teacher needs to send the students with the official hall pass and a list of the student's names.

• We do not charge fines for overdue materials, however students may not check out additional materials until overdue items are returned.
• Students MUST pay for damaged or lost items.

LIBRARY COMPUTERS

Technology Use Agreement Form:

The Tempe Union High School District requires that all students and a parent/guardian sign a district technology use Agreement Form before using school computers. The technology use Agreement Form can be found in the T.U.H.S.D. Student Policies and Regulations handbook. Students who violate the technology use policy will lose computer privileges.

The purpose of school computers and equipment is for educational use only. Student use of computers and equipment is a privilege, not a right. Any other use of school computers will result in loss of computer use privileges for an entire school year. A second offense will result in loss of computer use privileges for the remainder of a student’s high school years.

SOFTWARE AVAILABLE FOR STUDENTS

• Students will have access to Office 2013 products (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) on all student computers.
• It is highly recommended that students carry a flash drive for transferring data to and from home computers to school computers or save their work to their Google Drive.
• Students may access their personal e-mail accounts from school. (Note: Not all internet email accounts can be accessed, due to strict security regulations from the District.)

TECHNOLOGY POLICIES

• Downloading and/or playing video games are NOT ALLOWED on any school computer.
• Random checks are conducted and students not following policy will receive a referral.
• ALL school/district technology policies MUST be followed in the library.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR IN THE LIBRARY AND COMPUTER LABS

• Students are NOT ALLOWED in Labs without Adult Supervision.
