California has a law or it's in the Ed Code that parents are respsonsible
for replacing damaged/lost books. I have a copy at school, but not at home
so I can't tell you the specific working.
This year, I had every student turn in a form before checking out books and
it was a huge hassle. Net year, I'm only going to have the 1st graders and
students who are new to the school fill out the form. The form is more for
parent notification of the consequences of damaging/losing a book.

Subject: Re: library use agreement
I would never agree to allowing such an agreement. The library is an
intregral part of a student's education. Some of our primary classes
have
home reading programs where they students must take a library book home
and
read to someone every night for a few minutes.
I think this is a way to dodge overdue problems.
