Welcome to the William Madison Randall Library. We encourage your use of library materials, facilities, and reference services. If you need assistance using the Library's resources and services please inquire at the Reference Desk. Isaac Bear Early College Students (IBEC) are not eligible for computer lab use, laptop checkout, or other A/V equipment checkout.

IBEC students enrolled in grades 9-12, with sponsorship of a parent or guardian, may check out as many as four (4) items at a time from the following collections:

     General Collection 
     Oversize Collection
     U.S. Documents (with some exceptions for items marked "Library Use Only")
     N.C. Documents (with some exceptions for items marked "Library Use Only")
     A/V Materials consisting of DVDs, VHS, CDs, and Audiobooks

By sponsoring their child, the parent or guardian assumes responsibility for the return of all materials and the payment of any charges assessed for damage or overdues.  A signed "Parental Authorization for Isaac Bear Early College Students" form is required prior to receiving lending privileges .  ISEC students will be issued a special borrower's card which must be presented to borrow materials.  Privileges may be renewed annually as long as the student is enrolled in IBEC. IBEC students authorized to use the Library are subject to all policies and regulations of the Library and failure to adhere to these policies will result in revocation of use privileges.

Loan Periods, Renewals

IBEC students may borrow books and government documents for 21 days and they may be renewed provided another user has not placed a hold request on an item.  The loan period for A/V materials is 7 days and these may be renewed twice provided another user has not placed a hold request on an item. Reserve materials, reference items, and periodicals must be used in the building.

Overdue, Damage, and Replacement Charges

The overdue charge is $.25 per item per day for books and government documents, to a maximum of $6.00 per item. Overdue charges for CDs, Videos, DVDs, and Audiobooksis are $1.00 per item per day, to a maximum of $10.00 per item.

If an item is damaged or lost, the parent or guardian of the student, as indicated on the Parental Authorization form,  will be charged the repair or replacement costs in addition to any overdue charge that has accumulated before reporting the loss.  Please note: water damage cannot be repaired, but must be replaced. 

Borrowing privileges are blocked when an IBEC user has overdue books or library debt.  Please avoid having to pay fines; renew or return your borrowed materials on time and in good condition!
