Cultivating Life Long Learners

  • Welcome to Early College High School Library!

    Our goal is to enhance and promote student learning and support teaching curriculum and instruction. To ensure the optimum use of all library materials and the preservation of both materials and equipment, please follow the guidelines listed below.

    • Your campus ID card is required for library materials.
    • The librarian is available to the staff for instructional and curriculum support and to assist with the materials housed in the library.
    • To schedule classes for book check-out and/or research, please contact Mrs. Worth so she can put you on the calendar. Library times need to be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance.
    • Students may visit the library during class time with a pass. The pass must indicate the purpose of the visit (check out books, research, print, work on…) plus how long they are permitted to stay. The maximum number of students allowed to visit the library from an individual class is 4.  
    • Students with lost/damaged book fines may not check out books until books are returned and fines paid.
    • The library does have one printer for student use. 
      • There are no computers available for students to use in the library. 
      • Students may print before school, during lunch, or with a pass from their teacher.  
        • Students sent during class should be ready to print.  To ensure students are not missing instructional time, students will be sent back to class if printing takes an extended amount of time.

     

    "Our great function is to inform or to inspire, or to please; to give to the public in the quickest and cheapest way information, inspiration, and recreation on the highest plane. If a better way than the books is found we should use it." - Melvil Dewey
