Mission Statement
The mission of the McLeod Library Media Center is to facilitate an attractive, safe, and nurturing environment in which students and faculty can develop the information literacy skills needed to become life long readers and learners.
Library Policies
Library books are due each week on the student's library day.
Library Fines
During the time that the book is checked out, the student is responsible for the care of the book. If a book is lost or damaged, we ask for the $20.00 replacement cost of the book. If a book is found after payment has been made, we will gladly refund the money.
Overdue Books
A student who has forgotten his/her library book may not check out until the overdue book is returned. No late fines are charged, but the student’s check-out privilege is revoked until the overdue book is returned or renewed.
