Overdue Notices

This week, students with overdue books are being provided with an overdue reminder letter. There are already quite a few being returned which is fantastic!

Next week, an email will be sent to the parents of any students who still have overdue books.

Checking Out and Returning Books

At the beginning of the year, all of the classes spent some time talking with the librarians about what the library rules and borrowing process. During these discussions the students were reminded about the importance of checking out and returning their books.

Our library computer system keeps a track of what books each child has borrowed. If books are taken out of the library without being checked out, we do not know where they are and they can easily be lost.

When books are returned they also need to be checked in. This removes the item from the student’s record. There have been several cases of books being returned without being checked in, which causes confusion and impacts on the student’s ability to continue to borrow. An orange tub with the label ‘Library Book Returns’ sits on the library desk for book returns when a staff member is not available.
