What are the end of year procedures for the East Secondary Library?
2019 end of year timeline
Each year the library needs to get books back from students, teachers and parents so that we can replace lost and damaged items over the break and to reconcile patrons' accounts. We are very flexible - if a borrower needs to keep a book for any reason we will try to accommodate this need.
Please communicate with us so that we can keep note of any special circumstances. You can also renew your books online.
