Library Location and Hours

The Library and Maker Space are on the second floor. Scheduled hours are Monday through Friday, 8:15 a.m.–4:15 p.m. Hours may change; check with the librarian.

Students may visit during library hours, before or after school and at lunch. During class, bring an eHall pass from that period’s teacher, sign in on the computer, obtain needed materials and return to class.

Checking Out Materials

Students may borrow up to 10 library books for two weeks. Overdue books or unpaid fees must be resolved before another book can be checked out.

The library distributes textbooks, English novels and other school resources. Teachers coordinate resource pickup dates, and students collect items at the circulation desk with their current school student ID.

TI-84 calculators are available to students authorized by the Math Department.

Use the Follett/Destiny system linked from the AVHS Library and Logins pages to review checked-out resources. Log in with your district student number and password. Contact the library/textbook clerk with account or resource questions.

Responsibility for School Resources

Students are responsible for resources checked out to them, including books, calculators, laptops and chargers. Returning someone else’s item does not remove responsibility for the item originally issued to you. Return items on time and pay the full replacement value of lost, missing or damaged school resources.

Report damage, loss or suspected theft promptly. Bring damaged books or library materials to the library for repair or replacement. Bring damaged laptops or chargers to the AVHS Tech Office, and report lost or stolen laptops or chargers there.

Caring for Textbooks

  • Write your name inside the front cover.

  • Keep books away from pets, food, drinks and other liquids.

  • Do not leave books in classrooms or vehicles.

  • Keep your books separate from friends’ books.

School resources belong to AVHS and ASD20. Except for the textbook-name instruction above, do not write, doodle, annotate, highlight or place stickers in or on school resources. Damage may result in charges.

Reading and Literacy Focus

Aspen Valley offers a rich media environment and fosters a love of reading. Students often start at Aspen as reluctant readers but soon become enthusiastic readers. We accomplish this transformation through the rich resources we make available and, more importantly, through the individualized conversations that the staff have with students about reading.  More about our reading and literacy focus.
