Library Deposit Collection Program
The St. John’s School Library has joined the
St. Mary’s County Library Deposit Collection Program!
St. John’s now has its own library card! We have just been accepted as a participant in the St. Mary’s County Library Deposit Collection Program (DCP). Through this program, the SMC Library will loan a “batch” of approximately 40 books to the SJS Library for 5-6 weeks. The books will have a paper wrapper indicating that they are Deposit Collection books and will be shelved in a special section in the SJS library. SJS students may check out DCP books from the SJS Library for a two-week loan period. Students must return the DCP books to the SJS Library, not to the SMC Library. At the end of the school’s loan period, St. John’s will return the batch of books to the SMC Library and exchange them for a new batch of loaned books.
This is an exciting way to offer current non-fiction and fiction books to our students as we continue to rebuild our own library holdings. There is no charge to participate in this program, although students are financially responsible for any books that are damaged or lost while checked out to the student. Students must make sure they turn their books in on time so that we can maximize book availability for other students and so we can return all the books as a batch at the end of the school’s loan period. We should get out first batch of books before Thanksgiving.

A Child Protection Class has been scheduled for Monday, October 17, from 6-9pm, here at St. John’s. Please register on-line at www.virtus.org.

Help Bail Out Mr. Watters!
Mr. Watters needs your help! He's participating in the 3rd annual Jail & Bail, a “fun-raiser” co-hosted by the Sheriff of St. Mary’s County, Tim Cameron, and the Care Net Pregnancy Center of Southern Maryland. On Monday, September 19, 2011, the Sheriff is sending someone to arrest, handcuff, and take him to the Old Jail Museum in Leonardtown. Once there, he’ll be brought in front of Judge Ment with his court-appointed attorney, Ben Slick. Oh, the embarrassment!
Proceeds raised will benefit Care Net Pregnancy Center of Southern Maryland, a crisis pregnancy center that helps women explore their options when facing an unplanned pregnancy. They are serving over 5,000 clients annually and all of their services are free of charge. The $1,500 we raise will pay for one mom and her family to receive all of the services Care Net provides—pregnancy test, ultrasound, peer counseling, pre-natal education, parenting training, etc.
