Garden City Library Update
November 2019
Book Fair! Book Fair!
Our fall book fair will run between Tuesday, Nov. 12 and Monday, Nov. 18. Classrooms will visit the book fair during their scheduled library times, and families can shop together on Thursday, Nov. 14, from 3:10-7:10 p.m.
The flyer coming home includes just a sampling of the fair books, which can be purchased with cash, credit card, or a check made out to Garden City School. New this year, you can also set up an eWallet account on the Scholastic site.
When you create an eWallet, the amount you select as your student's spending limit will appear as a temporary hold (or pending charge) on your credit card and will be reflected in your available balance. You will only be charged for what is purchased, and after the book fair ends, the hold will expire and the funds will be released back to your credit card.
You may send a note/wish list along with the money or email me at mmoore@cpsed.net if you have buying preferences for your student.
You may also preview/purchase more titles by visiting the online fair between Nov. 6 and Nov. 19. Orders now ship directly to you instead of the school!
If you have the time and a BCI check on file, I could use help with the cash register and student shopping (especially with the younger grades). You can sign up for a time slot here.
Please feel free to email me at mmoore@cpsed.net with any questions. Thanks!

Thankful for Books - Family Contest
Share your favorites with me, and your students will get a free book from the prize box. Either email me at mmoore@cpsed.net or leave a note in my mailbox. I'll share the results on the blog.
P.S. Please remind me if I never gave your student their book from the summer contest!
