Library Borrowing
Each class is allocated a 20 minute library borrowing timeslot on either Wednesday or Friday mornings with Mrs Piper. During their specific library borrow time class teachers will help students with appropriate selections.
Library Borrowing Timetable:
Library Borrowing Limit:
Book Returns:
Book Bags:
To protect books students require a Library Bag. We have a “No bag – No borrowing” policy – so don’t forget the Library Bag please!
Damaged or Lost books:
If a library book is damaged in any way (ripped, torn, wet or the baby ate it!) please return it to school with a written explanation. Please do not repair it at home. We have special materials and equipment designed for the task and there are particular techniques we use in book repair. Depending on the extent of the damage, replacement costs may be sought.
We understand that books do occasionally get lost. If this happens, please let us know so that while you are trying to find the book we can also search our shelves in-case it has turned up there. If the book still cannot be found, arrangements will need to be made to replace the book.
Resource suggestions:
We try to keep the library well resources with a current, curriculum related and inspiring selection of books. To help us do so, please feel free to make any suggestions.
