__** Our LMC's (Library Media Center) Mission **__ Our goal is to ensure that learners enter high school as competent, critical, and ethical users and producers of ideas and information. It is our mission to prepare lifelong learners that can recognize their information needs, distinguish between relevant and credible information, solve problems and communicate through writing, publishing and speaking in a variety of formats. Our overall goal is to translate the mission of the school library for our learning community in school, at home, and anywhere that they can access the World Wide Web. Our website allows our learning community to continue to learn well beyond the hours of the school day.

**__ IS 302 Library Code of Conduct __** The **IS 302 Library** **Code Of Conduct** is intended to encourage behavior that supports our library’s mission to provide the best possible resources in a warm, welcoming environment. Behavior becomes unacceptable when it interferes with the rights of others, causes damage to equipment or compromises the safety of oneself or others. Those willing to modify unacceptable behavior are always welcome to stay. Those unable to comply, however, will be asked to leave. The following examples are behaviors that are unacceptable:


 * Abuse/vandalism of library materials, equipment or property
 * Eating and/or drinking
 * Inappropriate use of computers, such as: damaging or altering computer equipment or software; downloading or installing any program on the hard drive of any computer; displaying or printing obscene material; printing material without obtaining permission from the librarian
 * Unruly/offensive behavior such as yelling, fighting, using inappropriate language, or being disrespectful to peers or adults
 * Arguing over games/exhibiting unsportsmanlike behavior
 * Not cleaning up after yourself (we follow the general rule: “if //you// took it out, //you// put it away”)

// *Please note that computer use within the library follows the technology guidelines of the New York City Department of Education. This means that everything you do is tracked- nothing that you do on the computer is considered to be private. //

__** Circulation Policy **__ You may borrow one book at a time for a period of two weeks. Magazines, reference materials, and games may not be borrowed- they can only be used within the library. A book can be renewed for another two weeks if a student has not finished reading it. In this case, the student must bring the book to the library to adjust the due date.
