Returns need to be made directly to the librarian, including textbooks (English and Maths) borrowed via the library. If a book is lost or damaged, you can pay for it (full cost) or provide a new or second-hand copy in very good or excellent condition, but needs to be done prior to an official invoice. There are no fines for overdue books, however, ongoing failure to respond to overdue reminders or letter home may result in an official OIC invoice being raised.<\/p>\n<p>REMEMBER!

If you get one you should return or renew the book IMMEDIATELY.<\/p>\n<p>If you ignore these reminders then a letter will be sent home to your parents. Further failure in returning books (including text books borrowed via the school library) will result in invoices being sent home.<\/p>\n<p>REMEMBER!
