TGHS Library Rules

Rules

We need rules in order to prevent chaos. Rules ensure that we have order and they help us to make the most of whatever situation we find ourselves. The library is no exception. Yes, we have library rules to ensure the smooth running of the library. The rules in the library also help to keep you safe.

Definition Time

Today we will take some time to look at some library rules.  Stay tuned for some fun learning. Please be reminded that self-education for the rest of your life is one of the best gifts you could and should give to yourself. One of the main reasons we use a dictionary is to find the meaning/s of words. Can you think of other reasons we use a dictionary?

Ok, check out this list below and see if you thought of these. Dictionary and animals

  1. Look up the meaning of a word. This was said above.
  2. To check the spelling of a word.
  3. When you need to know the plural form of a word.
  4. To learn how to pronounce the word.
  5. Need to know the part of speech? Check your dictionary.
  6. We sometimes use a dictionary to find the synonym or the antonym of a word.
  7. To see how to use the word in a sentence.

According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, a rule is ” a prescribed guide for conduct or action… An accepted procedure, custom, or habit,” (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/rule).

Some of the Rules at the TGHS Library

With the above said, let us look at a few of the rules we have in the Tivoli Gardens High School Library. Please remember that these rules are not shackles, (what does this mean?) but they are guides to keep you safe and to help you to make the most of your time here in the library and also at school.

Here are a few basic rules

1. Do not eat or drink in the library. Give two reasons why we should not eat or drink in the library.
2. Enter quietly if you must speak with your friend, do so softly. Why do you think we need to be quiet in the library?
3. Leave your bags on the green shelf at the entrance/front of the library. Can you think of one reason you are asked to leave your bag at the front?
4. Do not remove the chairs from the tables. Use them where they were placed. Do you think this is a silly rule? Explain.
5. Do not play games on the computers. What do we mean by a computer virus?
6. Return your books on time.

  1. Let us start the discussion now.

    As an educator, I am happy for rules. I see them as guidelines to help me to complete the tasks at hand. When the administrative team at my school gives us guidelines, I don’t have to wonder if I am dressing appropriately or if they will accept my lesson plans. This is so because I am following the rules/guidelines.

    Students, let me hear your views about rules, especially rules in the library.

      1. Jayquan, I too was sorry that initially you and the others failed to do your homework. However, my God, the God of my mother, and your God would have me to forgive you and I have. You now have the opportunity to make it right by doing the studies now. Here is the link:

        All the best.
