Primary students (Grades K-3) at Myrtle Philip are allowed to take home 2 library books a week - one book for kindergarten. Intermediate students (Grades 4-7) are allowed to take out up to 4.
Books are due one week from the day it was taken out for primary and 2 weeks for intermediate. If your child wishes to keep the book longer, it must be brought in and renewed.
The children have learned about taking care of their books and finding a safe place to keep them at home. They understand that bringing books to and from home in a plastic bag keeps them dry and protected. Having a special spot at home to put a library book that is away from little children, pets, and anything wet or sticky, also keeps books safe and prevents them from getting lost. If books are lost or damaged, families are expected to pay the replacement costs. Of course, money will be refunded if the book is found. Thank you for your help in encouraging your child to use our library responsibly.
