Library Media Center
Nelson County High School
Welcome Back to NCHS LMC!
As with the start of any school year, there are some changes throughout our school building. Over the summer we have added several staff members and some have changed roles. Mrs. Sparrow will still be teaching at NCHS, but will also have the added role of the Library Media Specialist. Welcome to all of the new teachers and students at NCHS! Stop by and say hi, and grab a book!
(For a complete list of staff, please visit the NCHS website.)
Be sure to read this important library information to fully utilize all that your NCHS Library has to offer you! We hope to see you soon!

Scheduling the library and computer labs
If you want to schedule to bring your class to the library or computer labs, please use the Google Sheet to reserve a lab or the library.
Chrome Cart Check Outs
You must have Google/Chromebook training before signing out a chrome cart. Please see the Chromebook Policy and Procedures document. Please review this documents BEFORE reserving a chrome cart. Teachers will also need to assign a chromebook to each student using the chromebook assignment Google Sheet (either share this with Mrs. Sparrow or send a hard copy). Once these items are completed, you may check out a chrome cart using the NCHS Chrome Cart Reservations Sheet.
Hours
The LMC will be open from 7:45 until 4:15 Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday; Thursdays the media center will be closed in the mornings for meetings; and 7:45-4:00 on Fridays.
Student Library Passes
Students will use their agendas for library passes. Teachers must sign these for the student to be admitted to the library. Students should have a task to complete when coming to the library (ex: check out book, research, or other task). Students must sign in using the Google Form at the circulation desk. This system is new to NCHS, and we are trying this out to help better track students in the library media center. Please have students enter the library through the A-hall doors and not through the main hall.
Requesting Materials
Teachers and students may request materials on the LMS website (see above for link). When the book (or other material) is ordered, the teacher or student will have first choice to check out the item.
Laminating and Poster Maker
We have a poster maker and a cold laminate machine in the library media center. Teachers may use these, or request my Student Library Assistants to create/laminate. Please allow at least a 3 day time frame for materials.
