Library Curricular Standards                     Back to Top

By the time of graduation, students in the Bradford Area High School should be able to...

• Develop a knowledge, recognition, and appreciation of quality and craftsmanship in literature. (PA Standards 1.3.11A and 1.3.11F)
• Identify information needs and goals, and develop appropriate research strategies for meeting them. (PA Standards 1.8.11A and 1.8.11B)
• Locate and acquire information using both traditional resources and emerging technologies. (PA Standards 1.1.11A, 1.2.11B and 1.8.11B)
• Evaluate, organize, summarize, and present information.  (PA Standards 1.5.11B.i, 1.8.11B, 1.8.11C)
• Give appropriate credit for information using standard bibliographic formats. (PA Standards 1.8.11C)

To help BAHS students accomplish these objectives, we collaborate with many other academic departments.  We work most closely with the English and Social Sciences departments to develop strategies for research, skill in using reference materials and computer databases, and skill in giving appropriate credit for any information used. We particularly stress methods of evaluating information found on the Internet.  

Library Hours                                         Back to Top

The library is open every school day from 7:10 am until 3:10 pm.  You may arrange with a librarian to come earlier in the morning or stay later in the afternoon.  

The daily schedule for the library is announced each morning. 

• OPEN    Students may come to the library from study halls with a green general privilege pass if no classes are scheduled to use the library. 
• REFERENCE    If one class is scheduled, students may only come to the library with a white reference pass signed.  During reference periods, students are expected to be working on a research project for the teacher who signed the pass.
• CLOSED    If two or more classes are scheduled to use the library, the library is closed to study hall students.

Library Policies                                        Back to Top

When you come to the library, you are expected to behave like ladies and gentlemen.  The following rules apply:

• Show respect for people and property. 
• Sit two people or fewer per table.
• Have something constructive to do. Reading, research, homework, and computer work are appropriate.
• Do more work than talk. If it is necessary to talk, whisper.  
• Do not use headphones of any kind.
• Do not eat or drink while in the library.  All food and beverage items, including candy, must be left at the checkout desk.

Students who show disregard for library policies may have their library privileges temporarily or permanently revoked.
