Late Fees:
Patrons are responsible for the library late fee charges. Overdue material will be charged 10 cents per school day.
Lost Material:
The student is responsible for returning the material on time. If an item is lost or damaged, students are responsible for replacing the materials at their own cost.
Renewal:
A student must come into the library to renew the material at least 2 days prior to the due date.
Notice:
Patrons cannot borrow any material from another library if they owe any fines or have overdue books in their account. Students are responsible for checking their St. Patrick e-mail account or library account for their due dates, overdue fines and hold status.
The St. Patrick Academy library is enthusiastic to provide the interlibrary loan (ILL) service to our high school students, faculty, and staff. The library circulation materials are available for interlibrary loan. Reserved items are excluded from the interlibrary loan services. The library staff and patrons can submit an interlibrary loan request by using their personal St. Patrick Academy library account. Our students are our first priority over interlibrary loan request for the same item. Students' ILL request will be filled or declined within 24 hours. A patron will be charged .10 per day on each item for ILL late or overdue fees. Patrons are responsible for reimbursement if the item is lost or damaged. Patrons can borrow the interlibrary loan items for 35 days and can be renewed only one time.
Once students are logged into their account, they can search the material on the catalog page. Each library has different availability policy of its materials. We can only borrow the material for a certain time depending on their library policy and procedures. However, if the material is not available anywhere in Rhode Island, we can also request it from out of state. In order to request the material from another state, patrons are responsible for paying $2.00 fee per item. All the patrons have to make the payment before getting approval from the librarian. Your high school librarian has rights to deny the ILL request if a person has overdue material in their account or owe more than $5.00 outstanding balance in fine on their accounts. If anyone needs any help or have any question to request the material from ILL, please see your librarian.
