LBSS LIBRARY

The library is a direct extension of the classroom, reflecting all programs of studies. Students have access to over 50,000 items available for checkout. An array of online databases is available through this web site and through FCPS 24/7 (Blackboard). Video editing stations are available for student projects, but must be reserved ahead of time with one of the librarians. Students are expected to be working on school work or reading quietly at all times they are in the library.

Students will be asked to refrain from using cell phones or music listening devices in the library. Students wishing to use such devices after school will be asked to exit the library to do so.

The library is open from 7:00 AM to 3:15PM on late bus days Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday and from 7:00AM to 2:30AM on Wednesday and Friday.

Each student is issued a permanent library key tag to be used for their entire time at Lake Braddock. Replacement cards cost $1.00.

Books are checked out for three weeks with one renewal. Materials must be brought into the library to be renewed. Reference and Reserve items may be checked out by high school students for overnight use only. Magazines do not circulate.

In order to keep materials available to all students, it is important that items be returned on time. We do not charge our students fines, but we do trust that you will return materials on time.

Students will receive reminders for each late item, but if the item is not returned, the student will no longer be allowed to check out materials. Borrowing can resume immediately upon return of the overdue item.

Full replacement price is charged for lost or damaged items.
