The following books are available for parents to borrow through a self-service lending library located in the hallway outside the guidance office. The guidance office is in the C.C.I.U. wing on the second floor above the new gym. If you are interested in borrowing a book, you can check out any of the books in the rack by filling out the card in the pocket and placing it in the box on the windowsill next to the book rack. Please return the books personally (rather than through your child) within three weeks or when you are finished reading them and put the cards back in the pockets.
