BIRTHDAY BOOK CLUB
 
The students may celebrate their birthday by selecting a new book in the Library.  The student's name will be placed in the front of the book.  Please send $15.00 to the Library with the student's name, grade, and date of birthday to join the Birthday book club.

OVER-DUE BOOK/LOST BOOKS 

A notice will be sent home if a child has forgotten a book after two library periods.  If 2 or more books are over-due, the student may not check-out a book for that week.

Since books have a way of returning to the library after having been lost, they do not have to be replaced until the end of the school year.
A student who has not returned a book will receive a replacement book cost at the end of the year.
