What happens if I forget my book? That's okay. You can read a book from a special area in the library. However, if you forget it a second time, a notice will be sent to your parents.
What if my book gets damaged? That's, okay. Accidents happen but PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT REPAIR THE BOOK AT HOME. Please bring it to Ms. Manion. I have special glue and tape to make repairs.
What if I lose my book? Sometimes students lose a book. Please tell Ms. Manion. I will send a notice home that gives the replacement cost of that book.
