Our school library is called the Ronald Frydman Library after a wonderful Frost principal who retired in 2002. The library currently houses over 20,000 books. Our circulation and card catalog are computerized. A student’s Frost ID card must be presented to check out and renew materials! If the ID card is lost, a replacement needs to be purchased from the Attendance Office. Procedures students need to know: *Fiction and non-fiction books are checked out for two weeks and may be renewed. *Three books may be checked out to one student. *Each overdue book is fined 10 cents per school day. *Lost books need to be paid for promptly because both the cost of the book and the total fine is assessed. *Each week, homeroom teachers give out overdue notices to students who have overdue books or unpaid debts. *Reference books are for in-library use. However, there are several sets of encyclopedias which may be checked out overnight. These materials are due at 8:00 AM the next morning. *Magazines may be checked out for 2 weeks.

There are 18 computers connected to the Internet in the library. Our catalog is over the Internet. Each student will be issued a copy of the Computer Acceptable Use Policy in homeroom. This form needs to be signed by the student and a parent. Only when the form is on file and the student presents his Frost ID at the desk, can he or she be assigned to a computer. Student use of the Internet is monitored closely. Any failure to obey the rules regarding the Internet as set up in the signed form, results in cancellation of the student’s computer privileges.

The library usually opens at 7:30 a.m. It closes for nutrition, but is open for lunch, and closes for the day at 3:30 p.m. The library will be closed for meetings after school on Tuesday. During class periods, students may come to the library as part of a scheduled class visit or via a pass from that period’s teacher. The pass needs to have the teacher’s signature as well as the student’s name and the purpose of the visit. A student visiting on a pass must sign in at the circulation desk.


No food or drink is permitted in the library.
