You *must* do this first in order to check out new books.
Check it in (by putting it in the cart)
When searching for a book on the online catalog, this is how you can tell the book is *in the library.*
A green checkmark
In the library, bookshelves are organized by color, level, and author's last name. You can read any book as long as it is the same ______ as your level.
Color.
For example:
If a M book is yellow, then you can also read a K or an L because they are yellow too! We made it this way to give you as much choice as possible.
The amount of money you are fined if you lose your book.
$5
Bonus 100 pts: the cost of the book (if it is a graphic novel)
What to do when your book is due but you need more time to read.
Renew your book!
The only people who are allowed to touch the check-in computer and scan your books to return them.
Teachers and official student library assistants
When searching for a book in the catalog, this is how you can tell that the book you want is already checked out.
A red X
Each shelf is for a specific reading level. The colorful tabs on each shelf help you find books because they contain this information.
Author's Last Name.
Hint:
Always look up the Title, Level, and Author's last name of a book you are searching for. This should be on the slip of paper you fill out when you explore the online catalog in your ELA class (and it is your library pass.)
The consequence you get if you have a lost book *until* you pay your library fine.

The most common mistake that students make is to return their library books by doing this instead of returning it to the cart.
Putting your book back on the shelf without checking it in. This is VERY WRONG because the computer system will still mark your book as lost!! Put your book in the check-in cart instead!!
This section/category in the online catalog tells you where your book will be in the library.
The SUBLOCATION.
For example:
Sublocation - V shelf
This means that it is a V level book!
This is the only shelf section of the library that you do not touch and cannot check out books from.
The Wheatley Shelves (ELA classroom sets)
Where you can find information about your lost book, library fine, or overdue books.
Your email. Every Monday, Ms. Wallace sends out an email with all the information about your checkouts. If you have a concern, you can reply back to her!
