Book Care
Book Care
We teach book care in Preschool-2nd grade and remind students each year.
We do encourage reading to our pets and siblings, but talk about the responsibility of taking care of the books. We suggest having the student put the book in their backpack when they finish reading or up on a high shelf or dresser to keep them up off the floor. Putting it in their backpack helps the student stay organized and remember to return it as well. This is a new school routine the students can practice at home that will help them stay organized as they get older.
Keep books away from pets
Keep books away from younger siblings
Keep books away from food and liquids (leaking water bottles in the backpack are our most common issue)
Lost and Damaged Books
Lost and Damaged Books
We do not charge late fees in the school library.
If you have lost a book or a book gets damaged we do ask that you pay to replace the book so other students can continue to check out and read that book.
Overdue notices are sent out regularly to students. This helps the student remember to look for it at school and home and return it. If you are unsure about what the book is, please let us know and we can send you a picture of the cover so you can have a better idea of what you are looking for.
When an overdue slip is sent home please check the due date (circled below in red). The price (highlighted in yellow) is only there in you have looked and can't find the book and need to know how much it is to replace it. If a student finds and returns the book, the student does NOT have to pay this amount. An overdue slip picture is posted below.
If a family pays for a lost book and then it is found, please let us know and we will refund the amount paid.
