A quick reminder from the library… When you check out a book, it is due back in three weeks. If you don’t return it in three weeks, it’s considered overdue and the fines start adding up. If you need a book for longer than three weeks, just stop by the library or email Mrs. Fedor or Mrs. Burkitt to renew it.
