PLEASE RETURN YOUR LIBRARY BOOKS




Hello all,

It is hard to believe that June is already in full swing. Before you leave for the summer, I hope you will return your library books. Currently, our school has over 700 overdue books. That translates into approximately $14,000.00 in lost materials. Sadly, our book budget has been cut for five years in a row and will decrease again in the Fall. So, it is very important to hold on to the books that we have in our collection in order to make sure our students have plenty of good quality materials to read for pleasure and to support their exit projects and other research assignments.

When you return your books, I will clear your record in the computer system. You will not be charged a late fee, even if the book is years late. If you lost your books, please check with me to find out the cost of replacement.

Thank you for your help in maintaining our school library.

Your friendly librarian,

Mrs. Kinast
