Textbook Information
Students should check all textbooks at the time they are issued for any damage. If you received a damaged book which is not marked on the inside cover, notify the library clerks as soon as possible. All Textbooks should be covered with something that will not cause damage, but will instead prolong usefulness. Textbooks are issued for the entire school year unless it is a semester course. Students dropping a class mid-year are to return books promptly to the library. All textbooks must be returned at the end of the school year or fines will be charged.
