For years one way we could retrieve books and fines from students who had obligations was to not allow them to come into the library instead of going to study hall. (This is an alternative here.) We also declined to sign in students who were discipline problems for a period of time. It was a good way to get materials and "calm" some uneasy souls. We did, however, allow these students to use the library with classes or before or after school so they did not completely lose the services. We were told this year that this policy is illegal and only administrators could keep students from the library. We feel that the use of the library instead of assigned study hall is a "privilege" that can be lost temporarily. Our principal seems to feel it is a "right"for any and all be the student responsible or not. We'd be interested in hearing from any other high school librarians about policies in their schools.
