LIBRARY BAGS - ALL students require a bag.

All students, K - 6 must have a library bag. This is listed as a requirement on the student equipment list each year.

LOTS and LOTS of NEW BOOKS to be borrowed with a LIBRARY BAG.

LIBRARY BAGS MATTER... Not just some of the time but all of the time.

No food or drink on my books.

Food and drink are for the chooks.

Library bags keep ‘em clean.

Books are cool don’t treat ‘em mean.

Bring your bag every time.

Fill it up and get in line.

Have it scanned and scoot on out.

LIBRARY BAGS

We all shout.
