PHOTOCOPYING

GO TO STAPLES. Get to Staples by going east on Isaacs Avenue (the 4 lane road on one side of Whitman. Go east for about 1.5 miles. When you see a McDonalds, look left to see Albertsons—turn left into the Albertsons parking lot and drive past Albertsons—you’ll see Staples ahead.)

Your coach can do photocopying for you in the Library if needed.

LIBRARY—SORRY, YOU CANNOT USE THE LIBRARY

Sorry, but due to problems we’ve had in the past, the library is available only to students with an adult chaperone such as a head coach.

You can access most of Whitman library’s materials by using one of the computers in Olin 181 (fee is $1 plus 5 cents per page you print). If you include your email address in the sign-in at the end of these pages, you will also receive an email with the user name and password for a wireless connection to our internet.
