LIBRARY LEARNING COMMONS The Smitha LLC ' s Vision is to be the center of literacy, learning, critical thinking, creativity, and community support.
The Smitha LLC ' s Mission is to be a welcoming and inclusive environment that promotes and supports the intellectual, social, and personal development of all students. We strive to:
• Provide access to engaging, accurate, up-to-date, diverse, and inclusive print and digital resources
• Encourage curiosity and creativity
• Ensure that students and staff are effective and ethical users of ideas, information, and technology
• Support student achievement of curricular goals and objectives
Students are encouraged to use the Learning Commons, which is open daily from 8:00am – 4:10pm. From 8:00am- 8:45am, if the LLC sign is posted in morning study hall, students can come to the LLC to study or work on assignments. From 8:45am- 9:10am, students must check in to HR first and use the red laminated library pass to come back to the library. From 9:20am- 4:10pm, individual students can visit with the red laminated library pass or green group pass. Students must always have a pass and a clear purpose for visiting the Learning Commons( such as research, reading, checking out a book, etc.).
Student Responsibility for Books: Students can enjoy unrestricted checkouts for a loan period of three weeks. E-books are also available. When checking out books from the Learning Commons, the student agrees to assume responsibility for the books. In cases of extreme negligence, when a book must be discarded( such as water damage to a book), the student will be responsible for the replacement cost of the book.
Students will receive overdue notices from the Learning Commons via homeroom and email. Failure to resolve lost and / or damaged book fines may result in students being removed from special end-of-year activities.
