Library Books -- It is the intent of Allen Elementary School to allow all students the opportunity to check books out of our wonderful school library.  We have many books, in addition to those in the original collection that are slightly worn.  We invite the cooperation of all students in the care of our library books.  Please help your child to:

• Keep books clean
• Do not bend or tear the pages
• Turn pages from the top
• Do not treat books roughly
• If you borrow a library book, return it to the school the following week; books may be renewed
• Protect books from weather, animals, babies, etc.

It is the child's responsibility to take care of the books that he/she borrows from the library.  If your child damages, destroys, or loses a library book, you will be asked to pay for it.  Replacement books are purchased by the school librarian to ensure that a library bound edition is received in the library.  Students who do not return their library books by the end of the school year will not receive their final progress report until the book is returned or paid for.
