The Isabel Cameron Library contains a wide variety of print and non-print resources to support the library's mission: to ensure that students and staff are effective users of ideas and information. In order to maintain a library atmosphere conducive to research, quiet study, browsing and pleasure reading, the librarians reserve the right to ask students not involved in quiet and productive activities to leave the library.
To ensure that everyone using the St. Agnes Library has a positive experience, students are asked to follow these procedures:
- Enter and exit the library using the two main doors leading off the administration hallway.
- Do not bring food or drink into the library (including water bottles). Eating and drinking are not allowed in the library.
- Keep book bags and other unnecessary items off the tables.
- Request a pass from the library staff before leaving the library.
- To help conserve paper, please use library printers for school related materials only.
- Check e-mail only during the allowed times: follow the Acceptable Use Policy.
- Respect the RIGHT of everyone using the Library to study, read, or research in peace and quiet.
