Calling all overdue library books.

Overdue library books have been a problem in the past and we are working to improve this.

Last year we had a huge number of missing books.  This year I have been working with the children to minimise the number of missing and overdue books.  The children are aware that when books go out of the library they are their responsibility. 

There are some children who have had books overdue for several months. The cost to replace these overdue books have been added to your school accounts.  If you are able to find these, please return them to the library and the fine will not apply.

Thank you for your understanding and help in having a well stocked resource for our children.
