Students must sign into the library upon arrival in the facility and sign out when leaving. Students may use our 18 computers for school-related purposes. The computers provide students with access to Follett Destiny, the BGHS online catalog of print and web materials; programs such as Microsoft Word; access to our research and subject-specific databases; access to e-mail and cloud storage for school purposes; and access to the internet for research or homework purposes. Students may also access our catalog remotely online or with the Follett Destiny Quest app. They may also access our many databases via the library computers, or remotely from their iPads or laptops/computers, wherever they have an internet connection.
Students may print in the library with permission from the librarian and after noting printing details on the sign-in sheet. Printing may take place at the following times:
- Before school
- During GAELS periods (when students are not assigned to a session)
- During the student’s lunch
- After school
Printing must be COMPLETED five minutes before class starts (before school, during GAELS periods, and during lunch) so that students are on their way to class in a timely manner during the five-minute passing period.
