Student Procedures 

​

• Unless accompanied by a teacher with a class, all students MUST SIGN IN as they enter the library. 

 

• Students are free to come to the library before school (MWF opens at 8:10am), at their schools' open lunch periods, after school (Tues/Thurs 3:30-4:30), or with a pass from a teacher during class time. 

​

• Students may schedule individual conference time with the librarian in advance by emailing plichty@schools.nyc.gov.​

 

• Students may check out 5 books at a time for a period of 2 weeks. 

​​

• Students must wear headphones when listening to music or playing video games.

​

• Students must respect the library as a safe space and treat peers, librarian, and library with care and respect. 

 

Teacher Procedures

 

• By checking the ONLINE CALENDAR on the library website and scheduling in advance with the librarian, teachers may bring classes to the library to check out books, work on research, collaborate with librarian on instruction, to work on projects, etc.

 

• Please do not send whole classes to the library unaccompanied or without a scheduled appointment.

 

• Teachers may send small groups of students with passes to the library to check out books or work on research or other projects during class time without scheduling prior. ​

 

• Planning ahead and collaborating with the librarian on research projects has the best results! Let’s talk in advance about what you want to accomplish in the library. It's ideal to have at least two weeks lead time when gathering resources to support projects.
