Library Reminders
1. Please be sure to secure all of your technology equipment and materials in your rooms and account for them daily. We had several items go missing last year and we are unable to replace missing or stolen items.
2. Be sure to TURN OFF your digital projectors when not in use. Digital projector bulbs are $150 - $250 EACH to replace. If your projector bulb goes out, you will be working without a projector until we can submit a work order to have your bulb replaced. It may take a few days to a few weeks for that to happen! Thank you!
