End-of-the-Year Tentative Schedule

As we wind down this school year, we need to stop book circulation soon so that we can conduct an inventory of the LMC collection. An inventory should be done every year and it has been five years since one was conducted in our library.

The last day for checking out library books will be Friday, May 6 and all books will be due at the end of the day on Thursday, May 26. This will allow us ensure all books are returned and that they are in their proper place so that we can do an accurate inventory and update our library catalog.

By doing this inventory, we will be better able to meet the instructional needs of our teachers and the leisure reading needs of our students. Please stop by the LMC if you have any questions.
