Look for it! Common places lost books are found include: bookcase at home, under the car seat, bookcase in the classroom, or school lost-and-found. Sometimes books find their way back to the library, so ask your librarian to check if the book is still on your record. If you don't know what the book looks like, ask your librarian to print you a picture of the cover. If the book cannot be located, you can ask the librarian the price of the book, and you can pay for it with cash or a check payable to Bee Cave Elementary School.
