*2/18/22 Update on Library Hours: Due to staffing shortages the library will only be available before school and during first, fourth and fifth period with a hall pass. Please keep in mind that Mrs. Baca may be covering additional classes during the periods mentioned above. If the doors to the library are locked or if she is not there, you will need to return at another time. There is a red library book return dropbox outside the library. The best time to utilize the library is before school. Thank you for your understanding.

Library Hours- Our library is open Monday through Thursday 8:40am-3:30pm. We are open 30 minutes before school and 10 minutes after school, during both lunches and all day for those who obtain a hall pass from their teachers. The library is not open after school on Friday or many Friday mornings due to staff meetings. It is open Friday during the school day 9:00-3:21pm. You must have a hall pass to come to the library before school, at lunch or during class time. Passes are given out by teachers/hall monitors/counselors/dean during lunch. Classroom teachers give out passes as needed during classtime. Wednesday the library is open until the late bus comes at 4:20 but you must pick up a Late Library pass from Mrs. Baca the day before to secure your spot. During this time you can do homework, research, play games with friends, use the computers and read books. Please keep in mind the some weeks throughout the year the library will be closed before and afterschool if Mrs. Baca has hall duty and/or committee meetings. See Mrs. Baca for these dates.

Checkout Policy- An unlimited amount of books can be checked out for a period of four weeks. Receipts are given to students who wish to keep track of their current checkouts. Students can also see when their books are due by logging into their Destiny library account. Books can be renewed only once. A late fee of $.05 per book per day will be assessed. If  a student has overdue library books and/or textbooks or late fees from Escobedo or any other CCSD school, they will only be allowed to checkout one paperback book until their account is clear. Once a month overdue library notices are emailed and given to all 6th/7th grade Reading and 8th grade English teachers and they will hand them out during class. Overdue materials/fines transfer from school to school and CCSD librarians work together to collect books and fines. See Mrs. Baca if you would like to pay a fine or set up a payment schedule.
