Missing+a+book?

* First check with the librarian to make sure it wasn’t turned in by someone else. * Double-check in the library on the shelves. * Ask the librarian to help get a picture of the book to show your parents. * Look in the classroom, in cubbies, in tubs or on shelves with class books. * Ask your teacher if you may make an announcement to your classmates about the book. * Look in your stuff like in backpacks (old ones too), notebooks, jackets, piles of papers, desks, etc. * Look in places you may be on the way home like in cars or at after school programs. * Look other places you may have taken it like a friend’s, relatives or neighbor’s home. * Tell everyone in your home you are looking for the book such as parents, grandparents, brothers & sisters. It could have been put away on a shelf. * Look in your room under beds, in closets, in drawers, with toys or under clothes. * Try cleaning your room. If you don’t find the book, at least you’ll have a clean room! * **If the book still does not turn up, you may have to replace it.** * Check with the librarian, Lynn McNamara, if you have questions on how to replace it. * Some books may not need to be replaced with the same exact title. Ask Ms Mc. * It’s better to replace a book than pay for it. There are lots of great books! * The replacement doesn’t have to be new, just in good condition. * Title Wave has lots of great __used__ books for a lower cost. * You may have a book at home that your family is not using that would be fine. * Book Fair time is a great time to get a replacement book. * If finances are a problem, PLEASE let Ms. McNamara know. * Checking out library books teaches responsibility as well as increasing learning! replacing them if need be with money, work or another book.
