Borrowing:
All students are members of the library and can take out up to 3 books at any one time, for a period of 3 weeks. Sixth form students can borrow up to 6 for 6 weeks.
OVERDUE BOOKS
Please note that overdue books should be returned to the library as soon as possible.
The deadline for Overdue books - Reminders will be sent out every half-term. With regret, due to the large number of books being lost as a result of not being returned, parents will be invoiced for the cost of replacing any books not received by this date.
This is especially relevant to students leaving LSS.
Fines, which were suspended during lockdown, are once again being implemented at the rate of 5p per book per day. If you are unable to come to the library when your book is nearing its due date, you may email the librarian to request an extension. However, it is always better to be organised and plan ahead.
Thank you,
Miss Torrens (Librarian).
Library Resources:
The Library stocks a wide range of periodicals and monthly subject reviews for student use. These are reference only and may not be borrowed. The Library photocopier is available for students who wish to copy articles. Please ask the Librarian for assistance if necessary.
Student Librarians
Students are encouraged to have an active role and input into the Library and in our team there are student librarians representing most year groups.
If you are interested in becoming a student librarian, please contact Ms Torrens for information on how to do so.
To join the team you must be in Y8 or above.
The Student Librarians play a very important role in the day-to-day upkeep of the library and our new recruits will be joining a team that works very hard to ensure that such a huge volume of books, magazines and articles is cared for well.
