Beyond the Managed Collection

The ASK ME staff are available to assist with an information search that goes beyond the managed collection. For more extensive searches, we recommend a parent conduct the search for the student at in the Technology Center or Info Commons in Adult Services. To change Internet access from the Managed Collection to full Internet access – a parent or guardian must bring the child/student’s library card to the Circulation Desk and complete a form.

Suggestions for adding web sites to the managed collection will be accepted at the ASK ME Desk.  A written request form is required so that the site may be evaluated, reviewed, and considered for inclusion.

Managed Internet Collection approved January 2002 by the St. Charles Library Board of Trustees.
