LOST BOOKS
I will email caregivers if books have not been returned in one month.
If you have looked for missing books at home and can not find them:
1. Purchase a used replacement copy of the same book title and send it to the school library.
2. Replace the book with a new or lightly used book that you already own of any title, preferably the same topic as the lost book but it's not mandatory.
Thank you for helping to keep our library well-stocked!
