Rules & Guidelines

Reading is an essential means of gaining knowledge and developing language skills; therefore, students are encouraged to cultivate a habit and love for reading.

General Access & Conduct

Availability

Students may utilise the library section of the school app to search for books and check their availability.

Decorum

Strict silence and order must be maintained within the library premises at all times.

Entry Protocols

All personal belongings, bags, and articles must be left outside the library. Students are permitted to carry only an exercise book and the library book intended for return into the facility.

Class-Hour Access

Permission to enter the library during regular class hours must be obtained from the Principal.

Book Handling

Students are expected to handle books with extreme care. Folding pages, underlining text, or tearing any part of the book is strictly prohibited.

Shelf Organization

Students are requested not to re-shelve books themselves to ensure they are placed in the correct categories. Please leave books on the designated 'Return Table' if unsure of their proper location.

Personal Property

The school library is not responsible for any personal items (stationery, money, etc.) left inside returned books.

Borrowing & Returning

Issuance

The library card must be surrendered to borrow a book. Only one book is issued per card, and students may not borrow books using another student’s card.

Loan Duration

Books are issued for a period of one week. Renewals are not permitted.

Overdue Fines

Overdue books may be returned on any day, subject to a fine of Rs. 5 per day.

Reference Materials

Books marked exclusively for consultation must remain in the library to ensure they are available to all students at all times.

Circulation Rules

Borrowed books must be returned directly to the librarian. Circulation of library books among students is strictly prohibited; violators may face fines and the withdrawal of their library card.

Verification

Before leaving the library, students must submit all borrowed books for scrutiny by the librarian.

Shelving

All reference books and magazines used within the library must be returned to their designated places after use.

Damage & Loss Policy

Defect Notification

Students must inspect books—including the barcode—for defects before borrowing. Failure to report a pre-existing defect renders the student liable for any damage noted upon the book's return.

Damaged Books

Students must either replace the book or pay the full cost of the book for any damage incurred while in their possession.

Lost Books

Any book lost while in a student's possession must be replaced by the borrower.

Discipline & Administration

Disciplinary Remarks

A remark will be entered in the library section of the school diary for every late return. Three such remarks will lead to the withdrawal of the lending card and an additional fine of Rs. 50/-.

Vacation Policy

Students are not permitted to retain library books during the summer, autumn, or winter vacations.

Withdrawal / TC

Before applying for a Transfer Certificate (TC), students must return all borrowed books and obtain a "No Objection" letter from the librarian.

Environment & Conduct

Learning Atmosphere

The computer centre is a place for serious academic work, where strict silence must be maintained at all times.

Adherence to Instruction

Time Management

Computer time is a valuable resource and should be utilised efficiently; time must not be wasted during laboratory sessions.

Cleanliness & Hygiene

To protect equipment from dust—which is the greatest enemy of computers—students are required to remove their shoes before entering the computer room and must wear clean socks.

Equipment & Damage Control

Reporting Damages

As computers are delicate and expensive machines, students must immediately report any observed defects, technical malfunctions, or damage to the teacher. This ensures prompt action can be taken and the equipment remains available for the next user.

External Storage

The use of personal USB drives, pen drives, or external storage devices is prohibited unless explicitly authorized by the teacher for a specific academic project.

Shutdown Procedure
