TENNYSON HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY

LIBRARY INFORMATION

Welcome to the Lancer Library!

Hi there! My name is Berenisse Buenrostro, Lancer Alumni and now Library Media Technician!

In this newsletter, you will find library information, including but not limited to, hours of operation, rules and regulations, and lots of educational resources!

I can be reached at bb809@husd.k12.ca.us for any feedback, collaborations, or questions, regarding the library.

• The books inside the library can be checked out! All that is needed is your ID number.

• Check out up to 3 books at a time, plus unlimited access to Sora! (below). Including the Hayward Library collection (Northern California Digital Library).

• For book check-outs, you will get a due date, but there are no late fees! Books can be returned or renewed on or before the due date.

• We do charge for lost/damaged books.

• If lost or damaged beyond repair: can pay the cost of the book, or buy a replacement copy as long as it's in "new" or "like new" condition.

• To pay: the library accepts cash/check only, and payments are made to the Library Media Tech. Payments can be made with Ms. Yamada in the Finance Office from 9am to 1pm. If she is unavailable, payment can be dropped off with Ms. Kathy in the Main Office (exact amount only), so I can clear the account upon return.

Do you need a little extra help with homework or research?

Library Hours

8:00am - 4:30pm

All staff can use the sheet titled "2024 - 25 THS Library Reservations" to reserve the library space. This sheet is available on the Campus HUB and is for staff use only (teachers, admin, classified, counselors, programs such as La Familia/Caminos/Trio etc.).

E-mail is a great alternative way to reserve the space as well as calling ext. 63401!

A few things to keep in mind when visiting the library:

• Teachers: The library has multiple offices within it, some of which are shared. If a student is called from your classroom, please ensure the student knows what office they are going to.

• Students sent to work in the library--no more than 5 per class--are required to have a pass during instructional time (see "Library Rules" for more).
• The library is not a detention center, please do not send students as a form of disciplinary action. We have separate volunteer/community service opportunities during non-instructional hours.

• Students: If you need any assistance with homework involving writing, Spanish, finding a book to read, research, job hunting/application process, connecting to the Hayward Public Library, finding resources in general, you are more than welcome to ask in the library. We either have the answer, or can help you find it!

Hayward Public Library’s mobile outreach services helps overcome barriers of location, transportation, and historical racial marginalization to provide a wide range of equitable and inclusive library services to all people who live, work, or go to school in Hayward. The bookmobile functions as a small branch library that contributes to the ongoing health and success of a thriving Hayward.

Curbie visits every first Thursday of the month and is located at the main entrance of our site.
