Library Hours 8:30 - 2:30

We are passionate about our library collection and technology.  The library and our technology on its own does not do much, it is what great learners do with it that makes all the difference. Our ultimate goal is to support educators and learners to utilize digital tools, innovative ideas, and educational resources to maximize their teaching and learning to the highest impact level. I believe this is how we cultivate life-ready citizens.

Important Student links:

 

The Southside High Library Media Center provides a large variety of books in print and some are available with audio and music CDs. The media center offers fiction and nonfiction reading materials. We have available books from a variety of vendors including ABDO, Scholastic, Capstone, Usborne, and others.

Library Media Center Schedule
The media center is open throughout the day for check out, independent study, or for teachers to schedule class periods for research and other needs. Unless accompanied by a teacher with a class, students must have a pass to visit the library independently.

Checking Out Books & Other Materials
Students may check out two books at a time for a period of two weeks. Students must renew or return books by the due date in order to keep their accounts in good standing. 
 
Overdue  Books
If a student has an overdue book, he or she may not check out another book until that book has been renewed or returned. 
 
Lost or Damaged Books
Students who have lost a book are responsible for paying for the book. The charge for lost books is the purchase price of the book. If a book is relocated and returned within 10 days of payment, a refund will be issued.
Damaged books should be returned to the media center for repair. If the books cannot be repaired, the student will be charged the replacement cost.
 
Reference Books  
We encourage students to use reference books while they are in the library. In some cases, encyclopedias and other reference books may be checked out overnight and must be returned the next day.
 
Technology
All students MUST have a signed Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) on file in order to use the Internet for any reason. Students may use the computers in the library for educational purposes only.
