📚 Calling all Morse School bookworms!
Here's a friendly reminder to return all books to the Morse School Library before the last day of school (tomorrow!).
If your child has any overdue books, you should have received a message from Morse Librarian Ms. Pennell.
Don't sweat it if you find an overdue library book this summer. The school libraries don't charge fines, and you can return books to any Cambridge Public Library.
