Lost Books
Keeping Library books in a safe and consistent place at home will help you find them when you need them. Unfortunately
books do occasionally get lost. We ask that you write or call us and let us know. Please look at least one more time before giving
up. At the same time as you search, we check the library shelves and ask the child’s classroom teacher to help check the classroom. Lost books “appear” in the most unusual places. If the book is truly lost, arrangements need to be made concerning replacement or payment.
Damaged Books
Books should be kept in a plastic book bag to avoid any damage. If your child’s library book gets damaged in any way (torn or wet) please send it back to school. Please do not repair books at home. Depending on the damage, replacement costs may be sought.
