Tips on call numbers:

The first line will either be HS (High School) or MS (Middle School), indicating the grade-appropriate level.  All of the books in the online catalog are currently found in the High School library.
The bottom number on the spine label is the bar code number, which will be used in checking the book out and in – it is not actually part of the call number.

Some books have special designations as the last line of the call number
B – biography
SS – short stories
OS – oversize book (shelved separately)

Fiction books are designated by [Fic] and located on the large shelves across the back wall of the library. They are arranged in alphabetical order by author.

Before you remove a book from the library room, please sign it out on the clipboard located on the white shelf by the stairs.
