Library books are checked out for a month at a time. Books that were checked out in the beginning of September are now due. Please check at home, in your backpack, and in your locker and return any books you are finished reading. If you have a book you borrowed a while ago that you are still reading or using for your ELA project, you can renew it. Just stop by the library and ask. You can also email jlauchlan@arlington.k12.ma.us to ask for a renewal on your book project book or any other book you are still reading.
