Missing and Damaged Books
All borrowed books should be kept in a clean, dry location.
- Should a book be damaged, please return it to the school, as we may be able to fix it. Books that cannot be fixed will need to be paid for.
- Should a book be lost, or go missing, please inform the school and the book will need to be paid for. An overdue notice can be printed out for the student that details the cost of the book. This will need to be taken to the office with the payment.
- Students with overdue books will not be allowed to borrow until the book is either returned or paid for.
