Printing in color is 25 cents per page. A copier is also available for school use. Please ask a library staff member if you need a copy of something.

Holds:

Students currently have the ability to place checked out books on hold at the library circulation desk. Once the book has been returned by the previous user, it will be checked out to the student who placed the hold and delivered to his/her class.

Circulation Policies:
Students may check out up to 3 books and keep them for 3 weeks. Books can be renewed if not on hold for another student.

Summer Reading Challenge

The Task:

After reading a YA (young adult) book of your choice, create a one-pager. This is a detailed, one page artistic representation of the major themes & ideas of the book using words & images. Check out this example, but make sure to follow the guidelines below. You may create your one-pager by hand using markers, colored pencils, etc. or use this Canva template (or scan the QR code) to create a digital one-pager. If creating one by hand, stop by the library for a copy or you may print the blank Canva template linked above.

Your one-pager must include:

The title and author of the book in the oval in the top center of the page
A decorative border going around the page that represents the setting of your book.
An image/drawing and words in the upper left hand box that represents what you consider to be the most important symbol in the text.
Images/drawings and words in the upper right hand box that represent the key characters from the text and how they changed throughout the book.
Images/drawings and quotations in the lower left hand box that show the book’s mood or the author's tone, and the power of the language that is used.
Images/drawings and/or words in the lower right hand box that show real world connections between the themes in the book and what is going on in the world today.
A powerful quote in the long center rectangle that showcases the main theme of the novel - make sure to include a page # at the end.

Turn in your one-pager to be entered to win!

Be thoughtful with your design choices, and make sure to fill up the entire page. Write/type your name and student ID # clearly on your one-pager. Turn in your completed one-pager to Mrs. Garcia & Mrs. Thomson in the MCHS library by Friday, Aug. 14, 2026. *To turn in digitally, email a public view link to: millcreekhslibrary@gmail.com

Once you turn it in, your name will be entered in the Mill Creek HS Library drawing to win the grand prize ($50 Amazon gift card). There will also be a runner-up prize ($25 Amazon gift card). Want to be entered twice to win? Read another book and create a 2nd one-pager for an additional entry in the prize drawing. We can’t wait to see your designs!

Book Club

Chromebooks

Students in grades 10-12 who attended Mill Creek last year should still have their Chromebooks. They have been renewed for the next school year. Students were asked to take their Chromebooks and charging cords home and keep them in a safe place. If a student has lost or broken his/her Chromebook and/or charging cord, please speak with staff in the Mill Creek Library about replacements and fees.

Students in 9th grade and students who are new to Mill Creek will be issued Chromebooks during the first week of school. Please check your email for details regarding Chromebook distribution.

While content filtering is applied to devices, parents are responsible for monitoring the appropriate use of technology at home. Students in households with limited or no access to the internet can request a hotspot from the local school. Students are expected to use devices following the GCPS Acceptable Use Policy and the Student Conduct Behavior Code.

Students should arrive at school each day ready for learning with a fully charged device.

It is very important that families review the Parent & Student Responsibility/Damaged & Lost Devices information shared by GCPS. For more Chromebook support, please visit one of the sites below.
