Library News and Reminders

Adult/Student Book Club - Once again 4th and 5th grade students are invited to participate in the Evening Book Club with an accompanying adult. Our first meeting will be on Monday, October 24th, from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm in the library. We meet once a month through March 27th. In order to understand how a book club works from start to finish, students are encouraged to attend all 5 meetings. More information.
Parent Reminder
- Please make sure you keep Puesta del Sol Library books separate from the KCLS library. If they are accidentally returned to KCLS it sometimes takes months for the book to make its way back to our library
Overdue books
- Students with overdue or lost books may not continue to check out books until their books are either returned or the lost book is paid for.
Lost books -
It is our District Library policy to give refunds for books that are lost and paid for, then found again, if the book cost is $18 or more. The refunds are issued during the current year only, from September through the end of the school year.
Book Fair - THANK YOU
to our wonderful Scholastic Book Fair chairmen for bringing us another great Book Fair! Thank you to all parents who support our school library with your donations to our library and to Birthday Book Club.
