RETURNING LIBRARY RESOURCES
The end of the school year is always a very busy time in the library as we try to get all of our resources back and do a big clean and stocktake. To help us get this done, we have made this week the last week of library borrowing and ask that all resources (library books, home readers etc) are returned by the end of next week - November 25. We appreciate you having a good look around at home for stray items. Please also check for overdue notices - these may be printed and placed in diaries or emailed (but sometimes they end up in junk). We do charge for items which have been missing for a length of time. Please don't hesitate to contact [email protected] if you have any queries.
