    Jamison Library has an open door policy with book exchange.  Students are welcome to exchange books, with their teachers permission, during the school day.  It is not necessary for a student to wait until his/her next library class to get new books! 

    Students are not permitted to check out new books if they have many overdue books and/or a lost/ damaged book fine. 

     

    Lost and Damaged Books and Library Materials

    If a book or other library material is lost or damaged, it is the students responsibility to pay the replacement cost of the book.  The librarian will issue weekly reminders (either verbal, with a paper receipt print out, or an email or phone call to the parents or guardians) to those who have forgotten their books. 

    Library materials replacement fees can be paid in either cash or check, made payable to Jamison Student Activity Account and turned in to the librarian.  

    If the lost library material is found during the same school year and turned in to the library, a refund will be issued back to the student/family of the lost book. 

    Please contact the school librarian at tsalter@cbsd.org if you have any questions.
