Circulation for Students:

• Books, including audiobooks, circulate for 3 weeks.
• Reference books circulate overnight.
• You may use your Destiny account to renew your own items, but you can only self-renew each item one time (if you need a 2nd renewal please see the library staff).

Fines for students:

• The fine for a lost library item is equal to the cost of replacing the item. We will accept a replacement of the lost item, if the replacement is in good shape, and with the understanding that we cannot offer a refund if the original is later returned.
• After the end of a student's 8th grade year, any outstanding Middle School LMTC fines will be moved to Infinite Campus for payment, and the student's Destiny account will be cleared.
• Damage to LMTC materials can bring a fine between $1-10. We will accept a replacement item in lieu of payment if the replacement is in good shape. Fines of this type are not refundable.
• Refunds: We cannot offer refunds for lost item payment if the item is returned more than a year after it was marked lost. 

Overdue notices are delivered or emailed to students multiple times per week.  Students are also encouraged to log in to their Destiny account regularly to review their current transactions and upcoming due dates.

• Computers are to be used for school work only. You must get permission and be supervised in order to use the Internet at school. Chromebooks and other computing devices must be used in areas where you can be easily supervised.
• Sit at a table by yourself to start with. If we run out of room, we'll allow some students to sit two to a table as needed.  We occasionally allow students to work together for a short time, but you must ask first. 
• When you leave the LMTC, please push in your chairs and pick up any paper on the floor around you.
