We are open during the break period every day.
All students must have a library pass during class periods. If students wish to use the Internet or do research on computers during class periods, they must also have a Technology Use Agreement form signed by the student and the student's Parent/Guardian on file.
Students must leave food, gum and drinks outside the library.
Students will conduct themselves in a quiet, courteous fashion while in the library.
A Desert Winds pass is required for an individual student to enter the library during class time.
Students entering with a pass must sign in.

College Library |
Academic Libraries are located on college campuses. The books and periodicals that are purchased by an Academic Library support the courses taught at that University or College. If a particular subject is not taught there, books about that subject will not be in the collection. Periodicals will tend to be Journals that publish scholarly articles needed for college level papers. |
|
Public Libraries carry books on almost any subject. The books that are selected will depend upon the people who use that particular libary. Because most patrons are adults, the fiction will reflect popular adult fiction and best selling authors and the magazines provided are also popular titles. Many Public Libraries also have wonderful young adult and children's literature sections. |

OK - This is our library! School libraries purchase materials that either support the curriculum of the school or are recreational reading. High School Libraries have a much larger selection of books written for young adults than any other type of library. Reference materials are also selected specifically for young adult readers. | Special Library |
Special Libraries are used by newspapers, manufacturing companies, television studios, research labs, magazine publishers, and more. Newspapers keep back issues and lots of reference books. Well, you get the idea. |
