Student Librarians
Student Librarians help in the day
to day running of the Library. They help the Librarian at Break and
Lunchtimes. Training is given in order that they may carry out their
duties. The Job Description is listed below.
If you would like to be a student librarian see the Librarian.
Students
are encouraged to help in the maintenance and everyday running of the
school library. A formal Application process is in operation, which
consists of a written application and formal interview.
Students
then have to attend a compulsory training course. This lasts for a full
afternoon. Further training and meeting follow during the year.
Responsibility for Materials
Each Student or member of staff is responsible for Books or materials signed out in their names.
Sheffield Schools Library Service (SSLS)
The
school subscribes to the service offered by SSLS. This allows for the
school to borrow up to 400 fiction books during the school year. They
also run the Sheffield Book Awards and the YARN Book review scheme as
well as giving advice on all matters connected with the library.
Lunchtime Activities
The
Library Staff feel that the use of the Library should be fun. To this
end they endeavour to provide a range of Lunchtime activities for
students.
Overdue Library Books
Every Half
term, the Library staff will send out an overdue list to tutors. We ask
that tutors remind the students about these books. Until these overdue
books are returned, then the Library member will not be allowed to sign
another book out.
The Library Staff will not knowingly
allow any student or member of staff to sign out a book in another
person's name.
If a book is lost or damaged, the person
who is responsible for the book is liable, and will be asked to make a
contribution to the cost of a replacement.
Library Booking
The
Library will hold around 35 people seated, both at tables and in easy
chairs. Bookings should be made through the Librarian.
If
students need to work, or choose a book, in the Library during lesson
times, they must have an Out Of lesson Slip signed by a member of
staff. The maximum allowed from any one class, at a time, is 4. This
allows for more groups to use the Library and ensures that the pleasant
working environment that the Library provides continues.
Project Loans
SSLS
allows any teacher to borrow up to 35 books for up to a term. You may
either choose them yourself at the Bannerdale Centre or you can order
them to be delivered. Please see the Librarian for further details.
The Library can also provide project loans on a short term basis. Please see the Librarian for details.
