Why is our library called the Eugene F. Sullivan Library?
Eugene (Gene) F. Sullivan was Principal of Diamond Jr. High School at a time when the decision was made to transition the school from a junior high to a middle school. As a result,
Mr. Sullivan became the first principal of Diamond Middle School. His tenure overall lasted approximately 14 years, from 1975 until 1989. He was beloved by students and staff alike. The library is named in his honor to commemorate his contribution to the Diamond community. A plaque and a bust of Principal Sullivan are on display in the main room of our library.
We encourage students to be responsible users of the library and its resources. It is the student's responsibility to return overdue library materials as soon as possible. We do not charge late fees. Overdue notices are distributed twice per quarter in homeroom. If books are overdue for over one month, borrowing privileges may be suspended.
Lost or damaged library materials must be paid for or replaced. We ask that payments be made promptly, online via MCC. Students may opt to replace whatever was lost or damaged by bringing in a new copy (if the item borrowed was a hardbound book the replacement copy should also be hardbound, etc.). Please be aware that borrowing privileges will be suspended until all obligations are met, regardless of whether a new school year begins or whether students change schools.
Home Access to the Library Catalog
Did you know that you can access the library catalog from home? Diamond students and staff can access to the catalog simply by using the catalog search box located on our home page. DID YOU KNOW? When students login with their WDMS computer username and password (use the small "login" box at the top right corner of the catalog home page), they can see what books they have borrowed and when they're due. They can also reserve books from our library while logged in.
