Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we approach the end of the school year, it is time to round up our library books and bring them back to their home at the Norris Childers Elementary Media Center!

Book Return Week: Monday, May 11th – Friday, May 15th.

We ask that you please help your child locate any library books they may have at home and ensure they are returned during this window. This final "push" for returns is essential for a few reasons:

Inventory: It allows Mrs. Reese to conduct a thorough end-of-year inventory of our entire collection.

Book Care: Returning books now ensures they stay in good condition and are safely stored over the summer break.

Preparation: Having our full collection accounted for helps us prepare to hit the ground running for our students next school year.

Thank you for your continued support of our library program and for helping us keep our books ready for future readers!
