Students can borrow print books from the WMS library by placing books on hold and getting them on Mondays and Thursdays from 11am – 1pm. Thursday, October 1, 2020 will be the first day for book pick up!
Steps to take to hold a book and know if it is ready for pick up:
- Log into the library catalog
- Search for the book you want to borrow
- Place a hold on the book by pressing the “hold” button
- see these slides (Links to an external site.) for more info, or watch this video (Links to an external site.)
- you can place a hold on up to 5 books
- Check your Canvas Inbox for a message from Ms. Scott telling you what days your book is available for pick up
- if you do not pick up your book during your pick up window, the book will be re-shelved for the next student to borrow
Pick up procedures:
- Pick up from 11am – 1pm Mondays and Thursdays beginning Thursday, October 1, 2020
- Ms. Scott will have a table outside the main entrance
- Books will be in a bag on the table and labeled with your name
- Be mindful of the 6 foot markings on the ground to maintain social distancing while you wait to get your books
Return procedures:
- You can have your book for up to 3 weeks
- Two ways to return books to WMS:
