September 2012 Library News

We can't wait to start a new year in the library!  Please, parents, conduct a search-at home, in vehicles or even Grandparent's homes for St. Pat's books.  We still have a large amount of books not returned from last year.  The cost to replace these books is something we hope not to incur.  So please search high and low!!  A note will be sent home with your child to let you kow if a book or two has not been returned.
