The Robert O. Mason Library Learning Commons at Coginchaug High School strives to be a welcoming place where students don’t just pick up resources, but use the space to collaborate, innovate, and create projects that demonstrate their learning. It is a place of academic study, but also a place for students to peruse the shelves and displays, looking for their next great read.

STUDENT ACCESS TO THE LIBRARY
The library is open every day from 7:20am to 2:15pm. The librarian is in the building Wednesday mornings and all day on Mondays and Fridays. On days she is not there, students will be assisted by the teacher paraprofessional who can lend them a chromebook or check out a book. Students may not stay the period unless they are accompanied by a teacher as part of a study hall or class. On days the librarian is in, students may stay for the period by getting a pass approved by their teacher. Students with study hall must report to their study hall classroom and get a pass approved by their teacher who will confirm with a phone call that the librarian is in.

CHROMEBOOK REPAIR
Students should bring their chromebooks to the Guidance for repair. They will be issued a long-term loaner which they will keep until they get theirs back. They will be contacted when their chromebooks are repaired. If applicable, an invoice will be mailed home to parents.
CHROMEBOOK LENDING

CHROMEBOOK LENDING
Students are required to bring their own assigned chromebooks back and forth to school with them every day. If a student arrives at school without a chromebook, he or she can borrow one from the library any time the library is open. The loaner must be returned by the end of the same school day it was borrowed. Borrowing a chromebook should be infrequent. The library will engage parents’ help if a student borrows very often or forgets to return a daily loaner.
