=Available Services = Need to find your next great read? Inquire within! We will do our best to help you find a book you can enjoy. These are some other services that the RMS media center can offer students:
 * Printing: Black and white only. First 2 pages are free. Please combine multiple images on one page. Avoid printing out long documents.
 * Internet access for school-related activities. A copy of the Students' Internet Access Agreement may be found here.
 * Computer access for assignments--e.g., Microsoft Office applications for typing papers and/or creating presentations.
 * Help with the creation of multimedia content--e.g. slide shows, videos, podcasts, and other unique project ideas.
 * Assistance with research projects and proper bibliography formatting.
 * Book check out: Up to 3 items for a 2-week period. No fines for overdue books, but students who do not return materials may not check out any more books.
 * Reference book check out--1 day only.
 * Newspaper and magazines are available for in-library use only. The library subscribes to 15 different magazines and two newspapers--The Atlanta-Journal Constitution and the Rome News Tribune.

= Media Center Rules = The number one rule to follow in the classroom or in the library is to have respect for yourself and others. Respect begets respect, and respecting yourself helps you do your very best each day. Take care of books and materials so all can enjoy them. Here are a few additional guidelines for when you are visiting the RMS media center.
 * Students should neither eat nor drink while using the media center.
 * Students should bring a completed pass to the media center.
 * Students should use the computers for school-related purposes __**only**__.
 * Students are ultimately responsible for the materials they check out.
 * Students should not run or horseplay in the media center.
 * Students should be courteous of others working and speak softly at all times.
 * Please do not reshelf books.

If you need help and cannot find a book after looking in **Safari**, please let Ms. Quilici or Ms. Bramlett know. We'd be glad to help you in any way.
