Mission Statement

The Dubuque Senior Library leads students to locate, evaluate and use information from a variety of formats while meeting the diverse needs of student learning, promotes life-long learning, and shares a love of reading.  The library will support the curricular and personal needs of students and staff by giving them access to quality resources and providing current information.

Library Policies

Circulation
  • All students are issued a student ID at the beginning of the school year.  Students must present their ID card to borrow items from the library.
  • Students may check-out up to four books at a time.
  • Students may check-out books for two weeks and renew them if there is not a waiting list.
  • Students with a free hour may come the library to work on homework, read, relax, use a computer, etc.  
Overdue Materials
Students are not charged for overdue items.  When an item(s) becomes overdue, the student will receive an overdue notice in their email and in a scheduled class (usually English)..  If the item is not returned but rather lost or damaged, the student has the option of replacing the item or paying the replacement cost.
​
Device Check Out
Students may check out laptops, calculators, and hotspots from the library.

Textbook Policies

​Senior students will check out required textbooks from the textbook room through a computerized program that keeps track of all textbooks. Each copy of a given book has an individual bar code.  During check-out, that bar code is recorded so that we know which copy the student checked out.  
The Library/Textbook Staff highly recommends that students keep a list of the bar codes on the texts in his/her agenda in case they become lost or mistaken. Students should also write their name in the front cover of the book.
​
Please keep in mind:
* Students are responsible for the condition of the books checked out to them. 
* Do not:  loan them, share them, leave them in a classroom, vehicle, P.E. locker, or anywhere else where someone might take them or cause them damage.
* Don't write or draw on any part of the textbooks.
* If the textbook shows signs of damage or begins to come loose from the spine or loses pages, return it to the textbook room immediately and a new book will be issued to you.


Returning Textbooks:
At the end of the course/semester/school year or after dropping a course:
* Students MUST return the EXACT copy of the book that was checked out to him/her to avoid paying a replacement cost.  
* If the book is lost or stolen and not checked in, there will be a replacement charge assessed to the student account.  
*  All books should be returned to the textbook room by the student it was assigned to.  Do not give textbooks to friends or teachers to return.
* Please wait until we check the book in and state your name to be sure you are returning the book assigned to your account.
