    • Students must have a School ID to check out materials. 

    • Students may check out two books at a time. 

    • Books can be checked out for up to 3 weeks and are renewable. 

    • Fines of 10 cents a school day will be charged for overdue books. All fines should be paid in a timely manner. 

    • Renewing books in the three week window is highly encouraged to avoid late fees. 

    • The library is open from 7 am to 2:45 pm.

    • Students may visit before school, during class with teacher permission and a hall pass, during lunch, and directly after school.

    Berwick High School will gladly accept any donations to the library, which are in good physical condition and support the objectives of the Library and the mission of the School.  If receipts are needed, the Library Staff will not appraise materials; receipt for donors will only state the number of items donated, and not a monetary value.

  • Upon receipt, donated materials become the property of the Library.

    The decision to add gift materials to the collection will be made by Library Staff.

    Materials that do not meet the Library’s collection development policies will be disposed of through sale, donation, or discard.

    The Library is responsible for determining the retention, location, cataloging treatment, and other considerations related to the use or disposal of gift materials.
