Parkway Library-Mrs. DiBiaso
The library has been very busy! Almost everyone has checked out books this school year. Kindergarten will be bringing home their first book very soon, after we learn our rules and procedures!
I wanted to let all the families know I do not charge for lost or damaged books. If you are willing and able to make a donation to the library any time your child loses or damages a book that is greatly appreciated. Every little bit helps to keep our library full of awesome books!
Also, I will be sending out monthly email reminders of the books your child needs to return. These are just friendly reminders so you can help your child find and return books.
I am looking forward to a great year! Always feel free to email me with questions or concerns.
