Got Books?

Colorful cartoon books with arms and legs encourage returning them to the library. Text emphasizes the importance of this.

Please return all library books to school as soon as possible!  A notice was sent last weekend for any books that have not yet been returned so everyone is aware of which books to look for and send back to the library. No fines have been added yet for this school year, however fines for books that are not returned by the last day of school will be added to Infinite Campus on May 22nd.  Thanks for your help with getting all our books back, please email with any questions! [email protected]
