Learning in the digital age requires
Through the CVHS Library, students and staff have access to wifi, loaner laptops, recharging stations, printers, podium, speakers, microphone and digital displays.
Access to curated digital content is provided through the hybrid print-and-digital library which operates an integrated, cloud-hosted, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) suite:
Students gain access to library accounts, subscription databases and other published content through the LMS-CMS and their Google Classrooms. Access to databases varies by publisher and is described for each database in the A-Z list on the library homepage.
Library technologies are provided as educational tools for students and staff for teaching and learning. Class and coursework related use of this equipment takes priority.
The lost and found at the library does not serve an academic purpose and, as such, is a bonus service provided at the library. Staff time is kept to a minimum addressing questions. The library has limited space to manage a lost and found operation and will reduce the size of it from time to time.
Please do not call the library about lost items. Visit in person.
Please look for and pick up your items promptly.
No Liability
CVHS staff, including library staff and TAs, are not liable for any damage or loss to items while held in the "lost and found" and are not responsible for retrieving or compensating for items that have been freecycled.
Freecycle
In the last three weeks of school, all items that remain in the Lost and Found must be moved out of the Library. Items are given away in freecycle events and then shipped to charities in the last week. Keys are thrown away.
No Storage
Lost items are not stored or held in the library over the summer as they present a liability to the rest of the library equipment and collections.
