Our goal is to prepare lifelong learners and information literate citizens, who are able to determine their information needs, recognize relevant information, solve problems, and effectively communicate the results of their research. We strive to create a comfortable and welcoming working environment for the school community. Staff Ms. Sandra Liacouras, Librarian Mrs. Kathryn Irving, Library Assistant Hours The Strath Haven Library is open each school day from 7:00 am to 3:30 pm. Procedures Students may come to the library with a Library Pass signed by a subject teacher or with the permission of the librarian. Each pass must include a specific research assignment that requires the resources of the library. During Block 3, students can either use a Library Pass or pick up a laminated Lunch Pass before school to come during their lunch period. The number of Lunch Passes handed out depends on the number of classes scheduled to use the library during Block 3. Upon entering the library, students should put their pass on the clipboard and LEGIBLY sign the attendance sheet on the checkout desk. Doing so assists the staff in helping the students as well as keeping attendance statistics. Students are expected to push in chairs and leave the library in a clean condition, especially before and after school. No food, beverages, or chewing gum are permitted in the library. There should be no more than four people to a table. Quiet discussion is allowed. Students not following these guidelines will be asked to leave. Students coming after school do not need a pass, but are expected to be working quietly. Students must be respectful of each other and the staff at all times.
