Library and Textbook Care

As the new school year begins there are a few things students can do to help keep materials clean. One of the exciting things about a new school year is checking out library books and receiving your textbooks. You can do your part to help maintain these materials in the following ways:
  • Always have clean hands when reading /using books and remember to turn the pages from the top.
  • Find a place for library books and textbooks away from pets and younger siblings.
  • Do not put books in backpacks with lunches.  Drinks and food may leak out onto the books and cause permanent damage. The average cost to replace a textbooks is $60.00, library books typically range from $5.00 to  $40.00..
  • Please do not mend library or textbooks at home. Send damaged books to the library with a note for proper repair. Mrs. Carpenter can mend torn pages and broken bindings but she cannot remove liquids from paper so be careful. 
  • Cover all hardcover textbooks that go home, currently there is just a few classes using TCI Social Studies textbooks. Brown paper bags make excellent book covers. 
  • Please DO NOT use self-stick materials to cover books.
If a textbook or library book is lost or damaged beyond repair, parents will be billed for the replacement cost. If you locate a lost library or textbook within three months of paying for it, please return it to the library and reimbursement will be requested from the District Office (we do not keep funds at the school).
