Book Notes  

     Every class comes to the library once a week, and books are checked out for ONE WEEK, always due back on library day the following week. If your child is not finished with a book, they just need to let me know they would like another week.

Monday: Steed, Torkelson
Tuesday: Georgopulos, Stanly/Stuchly 1st
Wednesday: Richardson, Maloney, Podwika
Thursday: Adams, Bolte
​Friday: Preboy, Lyons, 
O'Halloran/Stuchly 2nd

​Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns via Parent Square or 815-838-0542 x2122.

​
​Damaged or Lost Books
     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.
