High School
Library Media Center
Welcome to the Park Hill South Library Media Center!
The Park Hill South Library Media Center welcomes the opportunity to serve the information needs of the students and staff of Park Hill South High School as an extension of the adopted curriculum. The Media Center program addresses both the academic and recreational interests of our patrons.
Student Passes
Students entering the LMC during class periods unaccompanied by a teacher must have a pass from their teacher and their school ID. Each student must sign in upon entering and sign out when leaving. Signing in and out verifies the student’s library visit should an attendance question arise, or the student needs to be located for some reason.
Library Book and Textbook Check Out
Books
Books may be checked out for two weeks and may be renewed for an additional two weeks. Periodicals may only be used in the LMC. Students will receive an email with overdue book reminders and fine notices.
Textbooks
Textbooks are checked out through the library circulation system. Please note: All textbooks must be returned to the library at the end of the course or students will be charged for the cost of the textbook.
