McCollum HS Library Newsletter
May 1, 2025
Congratulations! We have made it through another school year...almost!
And we have a lot to do in these last 19 days of school (Yes! 18 if you don't include today!). Prom, end of year concerts and shows, graduation -- they are all important, but the most important thing you have to do this month is turn in your library books! 😁
All library books need to be turned in to the McCollum Library! If your overdue book is in good condition, we will dismiss any overdue fines for that book from your record. BUT, if you have lost or damaged a book, we will charge you for the cost of the book. We only take cash payments, and sometimes checks in special circumstances. Speak with or email Ms. Sharp or Ms. Sifuentes if you have any questions.
Don't know what you owe? Check out the video below!
How to find out what you owe to the McCollum Library...
