We are looking for new books
In line with our library policy we regularly assess the books in the school library in an effort to maintain the condition but also to update the variety of books available. We are currently looking for some new titles and thought that families may be looking for a new home for books they have.
If you have any of the books on these lists attached below, in new or nearly new condition, and would like to donate them to the school library we would be delighted to receive them. Alternatively you could consider buying one of the books on the lists or donate alternative books in new or nearly new condition.
If you would like to donate alternative books, RETNS gladly accepts donations of books from our school community, in line with the RETNS Library and Collection Development Policy, under the following conditions:
• Books should be in good condition, new or nearly new
• Reference materials, including for example atlases and encyclopedias, should be no more than five years old
• Fiction books should be published within the last 10 years, with the exception of books by well-known authors and classics
• All books should be of a suitable reading level and age appropriate for our school community
• Books should not reflect outdated stereotypes of racial or cultural groups in either the text or illustrations
• Textbooks and workbooks will not be accepted
If you have any book donations, please drop them into the office.
Kind regards,
The Library Committee
