How can I get all the checked items from a submitted form with sinatra's params?

I'm running Sinatra 1.0 with HAML, my form has a number of checkboxes, for example books I like, and you would select all the books you want. The checkbox name is "books".
In sinatra params['books'] there should be an array of all the books that were checked, but it only has the last item that was checked, not an array.
How can I get all the checked items?
HAML:
%form{:action => "/test", :method => 'post'}
%input{:name=>'check',:type=>'checkbox',:value=>'item1'} item 1
%input{:name=>'check',:type=>'checkbox',:value=>'item2'} item 2
%input{:name=>'check',:type=>'checkbox',:value=>'item3'} item 3
%input{:type => "submit", :value => "send", :class => "button"}
Sinatra get method
post '/test' do
puts params['check'] #should be an array but is last item checked
end
