WEEKLY BORROWING
It was wonderful to welcome all students back to St Peter’s this week and we are very much looking forward to them commencing their 2025 borrowing next week!
A timetable for class borrowing sessions is included here to assist parents with preparing their children for their allocated library borrowing session.
Children are also welcome to borrow on any day Mon-Thurs if they are avid readers, or were away on their usual day/time.
Book Care
We often receive returned books that are damaged and whilst we understand that accidents do happen, a sturdy waterproof bag or zippered folder is required when transporting books to/from school to help keep our precious library books safe from damage and loss.
If you do notice that your child’s book is damaged or missing, please get in touch with the school so that we can make arrangements to repair or replace the book where necessary.
In some instances books can be repaired however in cases where water-damage has occurred, books often need to be replaced due to mould ingress. Leaky drink bottles are a common culprit so having a waterproof library bag, replacing leaky drink bottles as needed, and even keeping drink bottles in a separate side pocket (where possible) can assist in preventing water-damage.
In accordance with our school library policy, borrowers are responsible for the safe and timely return of borrowed items and consequently the replacement cost for books that are damaged beyond repair or are missing for extended periods will be billed to your child’s school account.
