Media Center

Student hours will be from 7:15 am to 2:30 pm. Library media center materials will be checked out by the library staff on the computer. Each student will be assigned a unique computer identification number. Most books may be borrowed from the school for 10 days. Reference materials may only be borrowed overnight and must be checked out at the end of the day. Students are expected to use school computers for educational purposed in support of the FCPS curriculum, and in an ethical, responsible and legal manner. Access will be denied to students who misuse this resource.

Students will reimburse the library media center for any lost or damaged materials. Report cards will be held until obligations are met. During regular class hours, students must have a pass to be admitted to the media center and must sign in. Any student whose conduct is unacceptable will be sent back to class. Students may get a pass before school from the media staff to come to the library after eating lunch, if space allows. Students are welcome in the library before and after school hours. There will be no eating or drinking in the library. Materials relating to specific assignments may be photocopied with permission from the media staff. The media staff is available to help students with research or recreational reading needs.

 

Endowment for the Library

It is difficult to keep our library materials up to date with the funds that the school system provides. In order to enhance our library we have set up an endowment for the library. For more information about our fund go to The Community Foundation. If you would like to contribute:

Send checks payable to the Community Foundation with FCPS Urbana High Library Media Fund in the memo line.

Community Foundation of Frederick County
312 E. Church Street
Frederick, MD 21701

Call the Community Foundation to use VISA or Mastercard at 301-695-7660. All gifts are tax deductible.

It is a great way to give a gift to a person who has everything or to honor a teacher.
