Library Policies
OUR BOOKS check out for three weeks. We charge overdue fines at the rate of 10¢ per day (reference books and audio books are $1 per day). Videotapes and DVDs do not circulate to students. To avoid fines, students can renew books before the due date. Students must take care of any outstanding obligations before they can check out books.
COLLECTION SIZE: 27,000
INTERLIBRARY LOAN: We are happy to arrange to borrow books from other FCPS schools. Please see any member of the library staff.
PASSES are required to visit the library during the school day except for class visits accompanied by a teacher. No passes are necessary before or after school.
MAGAZINES and NEWSPAPERS: The library receives the Washington Post, USA TODAY and the Wall Street Journal daily. We also subscribe to 25+ weekly and monthly magazines on a variety of topics. Our magazines do not circulate, but students are welcome to read them in the library.
DATABASES: CHS students are provided with a wealth of online databases to assist with their research needs. These resources cover a wide variety of topics and instructional levels. Links to the databases can be found under RESEARCH DATABASES on the Library web site. To use the databases outside school, passwords can be found on the CHS Library Blackboard site under the “Community” tab.
COMPUTERS: There are 36 computers available for student use on the library floor, with another 53 available in our Computer Lab and mobile laptop lab. These are intended for educational purposes only. Students should be aware that library computers are monitored.
FOOD and DRINK are not permitted in the library, except for water bottles.
CELL PHONES must remain out of sight during the school day. After school, phones are permitted in the library, but please step outside to make or receive calls. Students are expected to treat library materials and equipment with respect, push in chairs and dispose of their own trash.
