Thank you to all the families who responded so well to the ‘Overdue items’ reminders which were sent home from the Library in Term 1 2019, large numbers of books were returned – some from as long ago as 2016.
We currently have approximately 90 students with one or more library books which are still overdue from 2018 – this amounts to approximately $5,000.00 worth of books which are not currently available for use in our library for other students.
We will be sending home a Notice of overdue items (on Friday) with each student who appears on our system. The notice will list the items, the date on which they were due for return and the approximate replacement cost for each item.
If your child has overdue items could you please do any of the following:
– Return the item immediately
– If you are unable to locate the outstanding book/s please pay the cost of replacement or
See Leigh in the library
Please rest assured that all books returned to the library by children, or from neighbourhoods are scanned as returned, as well as any books left lying around in the buildings or the playground. Similarly in 2018 all neighbourhoods returned all books to the library before the end of the year so we are confident that nothing was left at school.
Thank you for your assistance with this matter.
