2. Weekly: You may opt in to be emailed which books your child has each week.

Please Care for Our Books:

• Travel with books in a backpack.

• Find a safe place to keep library books at home for the year.

• Keep books away from all pets and very young siblings.

• Read with clean hands and turn the pages from the top right hand corner of each page.

• Do not eat or drink while reading library books!

• Do not place library books ANYWHERE in the kitchen or bathroom.

• Load books into backpacks the night before library day. PLEASE AVOID PUTTING BOOKS AND WATER BOTTLES TOGETHER IN BACKPACKS.

• Return library books on time. Books are due each week.

There are no fines for overdue books. Students are responsible for damaged or lost books and will have to pay to replace them before checking out another book.

Concerns with this? Please e-mail/talk to either myself or the finance secretary so we can resolve it. We prefer books returned to lost fines paid.

If something does happen to a book, like a torn page, please do not repair it yourself. Return the book with a note, or email me to make arrangements to solve the problem.
