News from the Media Center
Book Checkout- The last day for students to check out media books for the school year will be May 25th. Please encourage your student to return any books he or she may have out so they can check out new books before the end of the school year.
Overdue Notices- Students with overdue media books should have received a notice this week. If your student received a notice please help him or her to look for the items. While there is no fine for books that are returned past due, books that are lost do need to be paid for prior to the end of the school year.
Happy Reading- Stefanie Goldsmith, Media Specialist
