District Library Mission
The library media program empowers students and staff with equitable access to diverse resources, fosters a love of reading, cultivates information literacy, and supports lifelong learning and research, aligned with the principles of intellectual freedom.
School Library Media Services
The District libraries are open to all students throughout the day. Dupo CUSD 196 libraries function as an integral part of the total educational program. The goal of the library program is to support the teaching of the curriculum. The library operates under the following procedures:
Check-out Procedures
Books are checked out for a period of two weeks at Bluffview Elementary and three weeks at Dupo Junior-Senior High.
Magazines must be used in the library and may not be checked out.
Reference materials are not available for check-out and must remain in the library.
Fines - Fines are no longer collected, but students should be courteous and return items promptly when due. However, other lending libraries may charge overdue fines per inter-library loan policies. Overdue notices will be emailed weekly.
Lost or Damaged Materials - If a student loses or damages a library book, the student is responsible for the cost to repair or replace the book. All unpaid fees accumulate as long as the student is enrolled in District #196.
Special Services:
There is a copy machine available to students for academic purposes only.
The library has a variety of computers and printers for students to use when permitted by their teachers.
Students may survey or order materials from the SHARE consortium through IHLS inter-library loan.
Students may access content electronically through supported devices, including access to online reference resources.
The library exists as a learning center and supports the educational process of the school. Students whose conduct interferes with the operation of the library are subject to discipline for misconduct.
