Phillips Library & Yavapai Library Network Together!

A free Yavapai Library Network card is given to all students and faculty.  Family, staff and other members of the Orme community are also welcome to obtain a library card, by contacting the Phillips Library Librarian.  A parent or guardian signature is required for anyone under the age of 18 who is not a student at The Orme School.

Everyone can access the library network and place holds on any items therein.  All items in the Phillips Library may be loaned for a period of three weeks with the option to renew for an additional three weeks.  Materials borrowed from other libraries may have different loan periods and their fines may be higher.

Everyone who has a library card through the Phillips Library is responsible for all items checked out through their cards.  Replacement for a library card is $5.00.  Please report a lost or stolen library card immediately to the staff of the Phillips library.

NOTICE:  OVERDUE FINES - All materials will be charged 15 cents a day after their due date.  Fines from other libraries will vary.

Technology at Orme is integrated into all classroom teaching. Each is connected to the School network. Research skills using the Internet and research paper writing using the computer are taught across disciplines. The School's required Research Paper Documentation Style can be found on the Current Students page.
