Library News
Overdue Library Books Library borrowing will cease on 29 November, after which all books will become overdue. Could we please ask for your assistance in helping your child to locate and return their library books ASAP. There will be a reward for the class who have all their books returned first. Please don’t let your fellow class members down by not returning your books. This also includes any home readers children may still have at home. These books are kept in sets of 8 and it is paramount that they are all returned to keep these sets complete. Please look and if you find a book with a spine label or barcode on it or in it send it back. Parents/Caregivers: If your child’s book is lost or damaged please call up to the Library and we can let you know the replacement cost of the book/s. Any child with overdue books at the beginning of the new school year will be unable borrow. Many thanks for your co-operation in this matter. Resource Centre Staff
