KRHS Library

All materials leaving the library must be signed out. Students may borrow material (fiction/nonfiction) from the library for a three week period. It is very IMPORTANT to return materials borrowed on time, so that others may access to the materials.

The library presently has 5 desktops, an assortment of laptops/Chromebooks, and a printer for student use.

Respect the rights of others. Keep the library quiet. The library is an ideal place for studying, reading or relaxing.

• Non-Fiction – The main collection is in the stacks. It is organized according to the Dewey Decimal System. To locate a book on the shelves, look at the call number on the spine of the book.

For example: 921 HAM (Call number for Soul Surfer by Bethany Hamilton.)

• Fiction (F) – All our fiction is located in the comfy room. Fiction is organized using the first three letters of the author’s last name.

For example: F COL (Call number for The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.)
