   - authorized by a teacher to do so.
   - Students may not access inappropriate information, including pornography and obscene
   - materials.
2. Books must be checked out at the circulation desk. Removal of library materials, including books, magazines, newspapers and videotapes or DVDs without following established checkout procedures is considered stealing and will be dealt with as an Honor Code violation.
3. No food or drink, open or unopened, is allowed in the library or drop-in computer lab.

Circulation

• CCES alumni, students, faculty, parents and staff are granted borrowing privileges from the Upper School Library. Books may be checked out at the Circulation Desk and may be kept for one month. Reference books may not be checked out, but students are urged to make copies of needed material from them. Audiovisual materials are reserved for teacher use only.
• Each borrower is responsible for returning books on time. While CCES does not assess fines for overdue materials, it is the school's policy to withhold end-of-year grades of any student who fails to satisfactorily resolve his account with the library.
• Students will be notified of overdue library books through notices sent to the appropriate advisors.
