 Library Policies

• The Hunters Creek Library is open to the staff, students, and family members. Daily hours are from 7:30-3:30.
  
  

• The library has an open checkout policy enabling students, with a pass, to check out new books throughout the day aside from their weekly scheduled library time.
  
  
• Parents and community members are encouraged to obtain their own library barcode from the librarian, so that they, too, can access and check out books from the HCE Library on their own account.
  
  
• If a book is not returned or renewed weekly, it becomes an overdue book. Reminder slips for overdue books are sent home on a weekly basis. Students must pay for lost books. If the book is found and returned, the student is reimbursed.
  
  
• Parent volunteers are an integral part of the HCE Library program. They plan and staff two annual book fairs and the Summer Reading Program, manage the Friends of the Library book donation program, help shelve books, occasionally read to classes, and assist at the checkout desk.

• The HCE Library resources include an online public access catalog and the SBISD Library Resources Page, both of which can be accessed from home. Usernames and passwords for the subscription databases on the Library Resources Page can be obtained from the librarian.
