Greetings from the School Library Media Center
Please be sure your child has their book on their library day. Children in Kindergarten through 2nd grade may borrow one book per week. Children in grades 3-5 may borrow two books per week. If your child still needs more time to read their book, they need to bring it back to be renewed. If a book is lost or damaged, we will contact you with an overdue sheet with instructions for a replacement.
Please do not hesitate to contact the Librarian, Carolyn Travers with any questions or concerns.
Your Book Buddy,
Mrs. Travers
