Q: How do I tell whether a book belongs to the BLT Jr. Library or another Library?

A: The easiest way to tell the difference between a book from our Library and another Library is the barcode. For example, barcodes on books that belong to BLT Jr. will begin with 400 while Halifax Public Libraries barcodes begin with 332930

Q:  What about books that are overdue, lost, missing or damaged?

A:  Reminder notices will be sent out periodically.  If a student has two or more overdue books, they may not be able to check out anymore until the books are returned.  Often books are simply misplaced rather than lost, however, if you feel the book(s) are gone for good, please contact the school library.  Damaged books should be placed in a plastic bag and returned to the library to be assessed for repair.

Q: How do I log in to view the books I or my child has out from the Library?

A: You can log in with using the Student ID number and temporary password you were supplied at the beginning of the year.
