The school library is located on the second floor of the east wing and provides book check-out services.  Computers that are research stations are fully networked and online are available to teachers and students.  Due to the increase in the number of classes wishing to use the library for research purposes, we must limit the number of consecutive days that classes may sign up. Teachers may sign up in advance for library use for one day only.  Two classes per period is the maximum allowed at one time in the library.  Library orientation is available upon request.  Library Policies: Students may use the library before and after school, during break and at lunch.  They must bring a pass during class. Books are checked out to students for 3 weeks and can be renewed. Students may check out reference material at the end of a school day. It must be returned before 1st period the next school day. Fines for overdue books are .10 cents/day. Fines for reference materials are $1.00/day. Students with overdue obligations may not check out other materials until the overdues are cleared. No food or drinks in the library.  Mission Statement  By collaborating with the Professional Learning Community of Los Angeles High School, the library serves as the hub of information for our school as it encourages the use of curriculum support information and recreational reading. The Ray Bradbury Library works to ensure students are effective and ethical users of ideas and information by providing information sources in various formats on a wide range of subjects to support curriculum and pleasure reading material.  Ms. Pratt, Librarian   Click picture to open the style guide web site.
