Borrowing Books
Students use the library and choose their own library books.
Based on the library curriculum, some sections of the library are made available after specific lessons. When students borrow books, they accept the responsibility to care for the book. This includes keeping it in a safe place away from babies, pets, and water.
When your child brings home a book
, talk about a safe place to keep the book in your home.
Sometimes, the best place is the student’s backpack. Then, read it together!
Overdue, Lost, or Damaged Books
Overdue notices are used as a reminder for students to return their books. Overdues are generated twice per month. After a book is overdue for one month, a letter is sent home.
If a family pays for a book and later finds the item, the money will be refunded (unless the book is returned with damage).
Exact change or a check made payable to Governor Mifflin School District, is accepted.
My child lost their library book. What should we do?
We understand accidents happen. Triple check all the spots the book could be: under a sofa, in their classroom, in a car, on a bookshelf, etc. If you are still unable to find it, please tell library staff so we are able to order a new copy of the book.
