We are requesting books for adults and children such as; children's books, juvenile fiction, adult fiction, historical fiction, self-help, business books, cookbooks, etc. The winners will receive a frozen treat as their reward.
Anyone bringing in two or more books can participate in a literary character dress up day on Thursday March 26th. Please make sure that your book character costume is approved by me. :)
Books will be used to stock our library shelves or used to trade in for more books through our partner Read-It-Again.
