    Check-out/ Return Policy: 

    Materials normally circulate for four weeks.  Cameras and some other equipment circulate overnight.  Students may also request and check out materials from any other school within the District. With a Missoula Public Library card, students and staff have access to materials from libraries across the state which can be delivered to Big Sky Library.

    Passes and Behavior Expectations: 

    Students come to the Library with a hall pass, unless they are with an entire class during class time.  They are expected to check in and out when entering or leaving the Library during a class period.  All students must have an signed network policy (with parental consent) to access the MCPS network.  Students should work in a non-disruptive manner and may work in groups for class projects.  Students follow the school policies for vandalized or missing items.
