Exhibits

The library exhibit area is located just inside the front entrance and provides display space for Academy educational projects and student expression. Displays range from artwork related to a particular theme to celebrations of Black History Month or Banned Books Week to student depictions of French or Spanish architecture. Each display remains on exhibit for up to one month. Requests to use the exhibit area should be directed to Director of Library Services Megan Glidden at (505) 828-3111. Demand for the exhibit space is high, and requests should be made as far in advance as possible.

Members of the Academy faculty and staff have longer check-out periods.
Academy alumni and families of current students may check out materials with an Academy ID card.

Fines are not charged on overdue items, but payment is required if an item is lost. Reserve materials and textbooks for courses are to be used only in the library.

Copy Machines and Printers

The library provides photocopying machines for both black-and-white copies and color copies. Several printers are available for black-and-white printing. A color printer is located at the circulation desk; there is no charge to students for color printing of fewer than 10 pages.

Equipment

Students may check out audiovisual equipment once their parents have signed the required permission letter. Parents are responsible for reimbursing the library for any damage or loss of equipment.
