Library Procedures

SHMS Library Procedures  

• Find a book or magazine that you enjoy. If you don’t like the one you checked out, bring it back and find another. 
• Bring books or magazines to circulation desk. 
• Tell me your name and whether you want to check materials in or out. If both, check in first.

• Books and magazines that are currently checked out may be placed on hold. 
• Checkout privileges will be suspended when a student has an overdue book or magazine. A special collection of books is available for students who are on the overdue list. 
• Lost or damaged library materials are the financial responsibility of the student who checked them out. (If your friend wants to read your library book, return the book so that we can put it in your friend’s name.)
