How do I pay for a lost or overdue book?
Lost or overdue books due to the Woodcreek Library can be paid for by visiting the WMS Library ONLINE PAYMENT SYSTEM. 

How do I know I have a lost/ overdue Woodcreek Library Book?
You may have received an email indicating you have a lost or overdue book.  Before you make a payment, please make sure that you have lost a Woodcreek Library book by looking for the 'WMS' lettering in the book barcode. 

Any other letters probably mean the books belong to another school.  For instance, an overdue book with the initials 'RCE" indicates the book belongs to Ridge Creek Elementary and payment for this book would need to be made to RCE directly.  (Do not make these payments to Woodcreek Middle School.). Only the librarian at RCE can clear the fines for those missing books.

Media Center Hours
The WMS Media Center is open from 8 am to 4 pm every day except late arrival days on which it is open from 9:45 am to 4 pm.

Book Borrowing Policies
Students are allowed to check out 3 books at a time and may keep them for up to 3 weeks.  If they need additional time to read their books, they will need to renew them at the WMS library.  

Books can be returned anytime to one of the three locked book return bins located around the library or simply drop them off with the media specialist or a student librarian aide.

Overdue books will incur fines.

Need help with a research project for your class? 
One of the best places to find incredible, up-to-date information about almost any topic is by using the WMS Research Databases.  Remember that you will need a password (which you can find in the Library Schoology Group) to access the databases.  

Need help getting started with your research? 
The WMS media center can help you get started with your research with the Lion's Guide to Academic Research.  You can also view examples of different research projects created by Woodcreek students by accessing the WMS Academic Research Hub.

If you ever need additional help with your research project or just need to ask a question about the WMS research databases, please feel free to contact the media specialist by stopping by the Library or emailing at moliver@humbleisd.net.
