2020/2021 BHS Library Procedures

The library will be at capacity with study hall students during the day thus there will be different procedures for using the library books and materials.  Students will utilize the features of the Atriuum Online Catalog to search and reserve books that they would like to check out.  Ms. Gould and Ms. Watson will locate the reserved items for you, check them out to you, and then you can pick them up at the front desk.  For remote students, check at the bottom of this page for further instructions.  Ms. Watson will also be visiting various classrooms to provide instructional support.  See the instructions and videos below as a follow up to any live instructions you are given.  Also, be sure to complete the Google Form with any questions you may have.  Welcome !!!

Please Return any BHS Library Materials from last year to boxes outside of the library or in your English classrooms.

Instructions for logging into your Atriuum account:

• Look in the upper righthand corner of the Atriuum screen to find the Account Box.
• Locate the Log On button.
• Click and enter your last name in lower case letters, then your Infinite Campus ID number.  If you don’t know your number, ask your teacher or librarian and we can look it up for you.  Or stop by the library or email us to ask for the number.

Searching and Reserving a Book for Checkout

Instructions for searching and reserving a book in Atriuum:

• Using the search box in the top left hand or center of the Atriuum screen, type in the title of your book, author’s last name, or a general search.  For example:  fiction and adventure will bring up a list of books that are both fiction and adventure. Typing the words fiction and romance will bring up romance books, etc.
• Once you have identified the book you are interested in reserving, click on the title of the book and a summary window will appear.  In the right hand side of the window you will see three gray buttons.  The bottom one is for reserving items.  Click the reserve button once, then a second time and a confirmation window will appear.  If you are sure you want to reserve the item, click OK.  Library staff will fill your reserve item as soon as possible.  Usually by the end of the day or the next.  Even though the recording says we will deliver, you can help us out by stopping by the library yourself.  Books can be picked up at the front desk right inside the library on our new shelf.  Thank you.

General Checkout Procedures

• Books can be checked out for 3 weeks.  Please be courteous and return items by the due date.
• You may check out up to four books at a time.  Lost books from previous years, may influence the number of items you may check out.  Please be responsible!
