The library will be open both breaks for borrowing for years 2-6 as well as other activities and quiet reading spaces.

Expectations in the Library
As part of Raceview’s Values in Action, we encourage our students to treat the library space and books with respect. Your cooperation in seeing that books are returned on time would be appreciated. We understand that life can become busy, therefore if your child forgets to bring their book back by the return date, please encourage them to return it as soon as possible to the library. Students will be unable to borrow until their overdue book is returned. As a reminder, we will send home notices when books are overdue. In circumstances where the book is lost or damaged, parents are asked to pay a set fee of $5 to go towards a replacement. Please remember to return all library books if your child transfers to another school.
