Should We Enter Text Books in the Accession Register?

Dear Professionals,

I'm  a school Librarian, Please suggest shall we enter text books in the accession register?  If we enter these books in the accession register we have to give them accession no. and  if any book will lost or torn by the subject teacher he or she should pay the amount of lost book and every year text books are changed so we have to discard them every year.

Again, what are the C.B.S.E. norms about textbooks counting in the Library?
Please suggest

Dear Ms Manavta Jugeshh,

Any material acquired by any library should be officially recorded; be it a gift or free material or purchased material.I understand your concern about loss or mutilation of the books. I know about the quality of papers in which such text books are printed and for school students being young learners, the possibility is more but if you do not record them, how can you comply with budget expenditure? There are provisions of Writing off outdated/mutilated/unused books. So you might not be having any problem to discard such books periodically.

Sincerely,

As per my knowledge...............
we should enter these books in the accession Register, because the fund is coming from same head. 
Further two accession registers are not the practice and it is also objectionable by the Audit team. If teachers lost the books then they have to pay the fine and outdated text books should be written off every year.

Text Books If Purchased.. sure it has to be entered in to the accession register. Text Books if it is a specimen copy given for finalization.from the publisher side, that cannot be entered in to acc register

Dear M Jugesh 

You can go for it, Because every book is in accession regiter
