The Sacred Heart School Library has a collection of over 5000 volumes, audiovisual materials, and computer software. The library surpasses the guidelines established by the NJ Department of Education and is equipped with a computerized card catalog and circulation network.
All students are scheduled each week for a library period. Students from first grade through eighth grade are encouraged to check out books. There is a fine structure in place for overdue materials borrowed from the library. A student with any overdue material loses borrowing privileges until the missing item is returned and the fine is paid in full. A student is not assessed overdue fines if the item is overdue because of absence.
Lost books must be paid for before additional books may be checked out of the library. Students are responsible for bearing the costs for replacing/repairing any damaged library book.

Welcome Back!
I hope everyone had an enjoyable summer vacation and I look forward to hearing all about your adventures.
Please join us for the Fall book fair which will be held October 4th-8th. The book fair will be open after school on Tuesday the 5th from 2:30-8pm for our family night and again on Thursday from 2:30-4pm.
If you are interested in volunteering for the book fair please e-mail me at the address below so that I can forward your information on to the chairperson.
I look forward to seeing you all there and please don't forget to donate to the "One for Books" program that provides books to those less fortunate.
