Sharing the Joy!

The March of the Library Books
It's that time of year when EES kiddos need to return all the library books they have out. Overdue notices have been sent home. Please help your kiddo(s) find their books and send them into school any day of the week - doesn’t have to be their Library day. If you get a notice for a book that you know was returned, or was damaged or lost...please just send the overdue notice back to Ms. Silag with a note explaining the situation so she can make note of it on the library database.
Summer lending for those interested, and who have returned all their books, will be the week of June 3rd for students who are currently in K - Gr 4.`
Thank you for your help! It takes a village! 😉
