LIBRARY OVERDUES

I WOULD LIKE STUDENT, PARENTS, AND TEACHERS TO BE AWARE OF OVERDUE PROCEDURES IN THE INTERMEDIATE LIBRARY. WE REMIND EVERYONE THAT LIBRARY RESOURCES ARE SHARED BY APPROXIMATELY 600 STUDENTS PLUS STAFF IN OUR BUILDING. STUDENTS HAVE NUMEROUS OPPORTUNITIES TO EXCHANGE BOOKS INCLUDING OPEN LIBRARY FROM 8:30 TO 8:50 AND ACTIVITY PERIOD 2:35 TO 3:15, IN ADDITION TO THEIR SCHEDULED LIBRARY CLASS.
STUDENTS SIGN OUT MATERIALS-HARDBACKS, PAPERBACKS, AND MAGAZINES- FOR TWO WEEKS. IF NOT RETURNED, STUDENTS MAY RECEIVE UP TO THREE OVERDUE NOTICES IN SCHOOL. A LETTER IS SENT TO PARENTS INFORMING THEM OF THE OVERDUE MATERIALS.
THESE INDIVIDUALS HAVE LIBRARY PRIVILEGES (OPPORTUNITY TO SIGN OUT MATERIALS) SUSPENDED UNTIL THE MATERIALS ARE RETURNED OR PAID FOR. IF THE STUDENT CAN NOT LOCATE THE MATERIALS A REPLACEMENT COST WILL BE DETERMINED.
IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE STATUS OF A PARTICULAR BOOK A STUDENT HAS RECEIVED AN OVERDUE NOTICE FOR, YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO CONTACT MRS. DIANE NACHTRIEB AT THE LIBRARY AT 749-1240 OR SEND AN EMAIL TO MRS. NACHTRIEB.
