This week I’m going to answer the questions “What do I do with an overdue book? What if I lose it or damage it?”
Markell Hall library books can be returned at any time through the book drop outside the library. Robin Hall library books can be returned at anytime in the blue bin outside the library door. (and don’t worry if you drop it in the wrong one—we deliver books to each other all the time!)
If your student is in kindergarten or first grade and you aren’t sure what day their library books are due, here is Mrs. Snyder’s schedule:
Monday: Brewin
Tuesday: Yorks
Wednesday: Van Selus
Thursday: Dizon
Friday: Jorgensen
If a book is overdue, just return it! We don’t issue overdue fines. If your Markell Hall library book is really, REALLY overdue, Mrs. Samuel may hunt you down in her safari outfit and send you home with a printed overdue notice. ;) We just want as many library books available to as many students as possible!
If your book gets damaged, we can repair a mild problem, but most likely you will need to replace it. If your book is lost, you will need to replace it. You can email your librarian (Markell Hall is tsamuel@thefranklin.academy, Robin Hall is jsnyder@thefranklin.academy ) to figure out how to do that. Typically, the best way is to find a copy on Amazon—we have found that to be consistently cheaper than paying the replacement cost. Lost and damaged books happen! We teach and encourage careful book use, but we know that life happens, and Mrs. Snyder and Mrs. Samuel promise to not be mean ol’ librarians about it!
Happy Reading!
Mrs. Samuel
