Mr. Heckler is teaching a class.The library is not open after school on Friday or many Friday mornings due to staff meetings. It is open Friday during the school day 8:00-3:10pm. You must have a hall pass to come to the library before school, at lunch or during class time. Passes are given out by teachers/hall monitors/counselors/dean during lunch.

Checkout Policy-

An unlimited amount of books can be checked out for a period of four weeks. Receipts are given to students who wish to keep track of their current checkouts. Students can also see when their books are due by logging into their Destiny library account. Books can be renewed only once. A late fee of $.05 per book per day will be assessed. If  a student has overdue library books and/or textbooks or late fees from Escobedo or any other CCSD school, they will only be allowed to checkout one paperback book until their account is clear. Once a month overdue library notices are emailed and given to all 6th/7th grade Reading and 8th grade English teachers and they will hand them out during class. Overdue materials/fines transfer from school to school and CCSD librarians work together to collect books and fines. See Mr. Heckler if you would like to pay a fine or set up a payment schedule.
