Books circulate for four weeks with three renewals allowed unless reserved by another patron. Reference books, magazines and audio-visual materials do not circulate to students.

Students are responsible for returning books by their due date. Students may view their circulation status and renew their books online by going to wmcct.masscat.org and logging into their account with firstname.lastname and the password: mccann

There are no fines for overdue books, but notices are sent to students during their vocational week. Upon receiving the final notice that their books are more than thirty days overdue, students have one week to resolve the issue or face office detention.

If a book has been lost or damaged beyond repair the student is responsible for the replacement cost of the book. They may choose to either pay or work off the cost of the book. See Mr. Moon for details.

Since McCann is a 1-1 school all students have been assigned an HP Chromebook and have access to their own Google account. Printing can be done from the 4 desktop computers in the library. See Mr. Moon for details.
