Library Notice

Please return all school library books to the library by the end of term.

Previous experience suggests that many people find the phrase "all school library books" ambiguous, so here is a clarification:

• "All school library books" includes all school library books, it includes reading books, picture books, oversize books, minature books, popup books, reference books, books of fiction and audio books.
• "All school library books" includes books you have taken home, books that pupils have taken home, books that are dirty, that have been scribbled in, books that are torn, books that have pages missing and books that didn't get returned at the end of the previous school year.
• "All school library books" includes books that you are reading, books that pupils are reading, books that you like, books that you don't like and your favourite book.
• It includes books that are about your specialist subject, books that have been specially sourced for you and books that have been specially sourced for a pupil.
• "All school library books" includes books in your classroom, books in your store room, books in the staff room, books in your locker, books in a pupil’s locker and books in the corridor.
• "All school library books" even includes books that are being used to stop tables from wobbling

So… please return all school library books to the library by the end of term.
