Book Replacement Policy for Secondary Schools

Welcome to the Library Media Center (LMC) at Arnold O. Beckman High School. It is the mission of the TUSD libraries to provide materials in a variety of formats that promote effective use of information and create a lifelong love of learning and reading. As a part of our library program your student will be assigned a set of textbooksfor classes in which they are enrolled. He or she also has the opportunity to check out library books and conduct research in the LMC.

Students are responsible for keeping library and textbooks in good condition and returning them when they are due. Textbooks are due at the end of the semester or school year depending on the class. Library books must be returned within 2 weeks of the date they were checked out. Students may renew their book for a further two weeks if it is brought to the library for renewal.

All textbooks and library books are the property of Tustin Unified School District and a student ID card is required for all checkouts. Books returned damaged are subject to the fines listed below.
