Instructions for placing holds online

Orders may take a few days to get ready, especially if you order something that needs to be quarantined. Teacher Ben will email the student’s account when books are ready for pick up.

The best time to pick up orders is at the Mini Library after you receive an email that your order is ready.

If you can’t get to the Mini Library or you need the books urgently, once the order is ready you can get them from Britta or Caitlin during school hours.

The Free Book Exchange will be open every school day from 7 a.m. until 6 p.m.

Under the Mini Library tent, we will keep books that you can take from freely! When you are done with books you’ve taken, it would be nice if you bring them back sometime. Please return these books to the same bin as the library books, so they can be quarantined.

If you would like to donate books, great! Please just put them in the book return, or contact Teacher Ben to arrange a time to meet up.
