Lost Books and Replacements:
Can't find your book? Hey, we all make mistakes! If a book is lost or damaged, we ask that you please replace it with an exact copy. Most replacements can be found at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or even at thrift shops like Savers, Goodwill or Once Upon a Child. Thank you for supporting our library!
