Book Notes
Please be aware of your child’s library day and remind him or her to bring all books back every week!! Library books may always be renewed if a child is not done reading them, but MUST be brought in on library day to do so. Here is the schedule:
If a book ever gets damaged, or WET, please be sure to let me know. Wet books take weeks to dry thoroughly and grow MOLD if we don’t take that time. Also, if your child does forget a book, or you can’t find one, please contact me. If I know that a parent is aware of a missing book, I can allow the child to check out books while you search for the missing one. If I do not hear from a parent, your child may lose checkout privileges.
Did your child forget her textbook at school?
The Lockport Public Library has copies of some of our hardcover textbooks. Just ask about them at the Children’s Department desk! These books may be used at the library, but not taken home. Your child does use more books at school, but many of those are softcover and/or workbooks and are available only through the classroom.
