Etiquette for shared use of the library community space

It is always appreciated when teachers consider other users when using shared spaces such as the library and computer rooms. Please remember to askyour students to …..

  • place their bags OUTSIDE on the hooks or benches provided (taking any valuables with them)
  • maintain a hush at all times while using communal library space
  • wait for the teacher before moving into rooms or library areas
  • remember that these spaces are food & drink free zones
  • log off their work station
  • pick up any papers or other rubbish and place in the bin
  • put their chairs under the tables when leaving

At the end of the day it is appreciated if your students

  • shut down/power off the computers
  • close any open windows

Could teachers also remember to clean the whiteboard at the end of each lesson

When sending groups of less than 5 students from your class make sure you give them a green out of class pass indicating the time you expect the girls to return. Ask the girls to give this slip to the teacher-librarian before moving into the library to check there is space and that we can assist in their task/s
