12. Returning a Book Return books at the front desk only. Books returned any other place will remain in the computer under a “checked out” status, and fines will continue to accumulate. If a book is lost, the borrower will be billed for the replacement price of the book.

13. Other Services If you need copies we will make those for you at the front desk. Because of the cost of ink and toner, black and white copies/ printouts are 10¢ Color copies are 25¢

14. Internet Use You must have an AUP on file to access the Internet. No e-mail (except Outlook), chat rooms, social networking sites, or inappropriate sites- your use is monitored by teachers, the media staff, and the proxy server! No online games or streaming of music or video. This slows down the entire network.
