Library Info Post!
I know I'm losing a couple aides this session due to the terrible tendency of graduates to move on no matter how much I sob and cling, so library aide applications are open. Aides are responsible for posting the library one day a week. (If two people want to sign up as a team to cover a single day, I'm totally cool with that. More library interaction is good.) The schedule will be announced around July 2-3, after the class lists are finalized.
In IC terms, your character either handwavily filled out the aide application at some point after their arrival in Fandom, or was assigned library duty through a paperwork error. (I still need the form for paperwork error types -- just note that the form doesn't really exist IC in the OOC info section.) If you want to apply IC, show up in the library any day it's posted and we'll play it through.
If you're already an aide, please comment to this post to let me know whether you're sticking around, and your top two choices for days if you are. You get priority over new applicants. Also cookies.
If you're an aide but you want this session off, comment and let me know that so I hold the day.
If you're not an aide yet but want to be one, please fill out the nifty form below the cut tag.

Is there anything about why your character should be an aide (or why you want to play a library aide) that wasn't covered above?:
OPTIONAL: Suggest one concept for a Special Collections plot. Anything from random crack to character-centric drama is fair game here:
Note: In the past, aide apps have required a writing sample. I'm discontinuing that, but I may ask for one from new staff at my discretion.
Library Rules
1. The library is open daily during regular school hours, or 10-4(ish) on weekends. It may be opened after hours with special permission. (Please ask a day in advance.)
2. Students, faculty, and townspeople may check out any number of books for a period of two weeks if they have a library card. All students and faculty have received library cards at this time; townies may handwave having applied for one or play it out.
3. We love having classes use the library for projects, but please give us an OOC heads up a day an advance so we can set up the OCD and call in reinforcements if we need them.
4. The library is fully equipped; it has books and magazines from all dimensions, multi-dimensional Internet access, and DVDs, VHS and CDs to meet your needs. The books are arranged roughly according to Dewey Decimal System, although the library may rearrange itself when we aren't looking. The materials are on public shelves with a few exceptions:
a. Certain materials are in Special Collections. The basics are that things are in SC if they:
I. Are obscene. You ARE in high school.
II. Are old, rare or otherwise extremely valuable.
III. Directly concern another character at Fandom High.
IV. Could be harmful -- for instance, instructions on building a bomb, or specific magical spells.
To get into Special Collections, students must have a note from a faculty member and link to it in the library thread. If you're researching another cast member, please get and submit their OOC permission as well. Please let the library staff know that you want to go in there a few days in advance so we can moderate traffic. You should really only be going in there for plotty or class purposes.
Access to SC can be simple, but it's sentient, so sometimes things get ... interesting. (It's rumored to be not exactly in this world, and it's much larger inside than outside). If you want an SC adventure, let the library staff know at least 48 hours in advance and we will try to accommodate you. The current librarian is really nooooooot a fan of SC, so IC he'll probably balk at letting people in. OOCly, of course, it's up for grabs.
5. As always, in-character actions = in character consequences. Meaning, if you want to play out stealing or vandalizing a book, or otherwise misusing the library, go for it, but the odds that you'll get caught are very, very high.
6. Library staff operate as a collective; sometimes, the aide on duty will need to check with the others before making a decision. Please be patient.
