You have several options to check out books, even if your English teacher doesn't bring your class. You can visit the library before school as early as 7:00 AM, during your lunch, or after school until 3:00 PM.
You could also come with a pink hall pass if your teacher gives you one. Make sure the pink hall pass is completely filled out with your name, your teacher's signature, and the date and time. The pink hall pass must also have the library as your destination.
Sticky notes and scrap paper will not be accepted as a hall pass. The library will also not accept pink hall passes that are filled out for other areas of the school (the front office, the nurse, the counselors, etc.).
