As the school year draws to a close, the time has come for our library books to return to their shelves. All books checked out this school year are due on Friday, May 10, except for Lower School students, whose books are due one week later on Friday, May 17. After these dates, any books remaining on your account will be considered lost, and you will be charged a replacement fee for each book.
In the next few weeks, all rising Middle and High School students will get a preview of their summer reading lists from our librarians. At this time, they will be allowed to check out up to three books for the summer. Students who have books checked out must return them before checking out new books for the summer. Rising LS students may not check out books from our library over the summer.
Books checked out over the summer are due back to the Hassenfeld Library on Friday, August 16, at the end of the first week back to school. All summer checkouts not returned by Sunday, September 1 will be considered lost, and your account will be charged a replacement fee for each book.
