HAPPENINGS IN THE LIBRARY
Calling All Volunteers!
The Book Fair is Coming!
Our Scholastic Book Fair theme – Happy Camper-S’more Fun with Books– surrounds students with hundreds of fun and engaging books. The Book Fair gives kids access to good books and the opportunity to choose their own books. Like most acquired skills, the more kids practice reading, the more skilled reader they’ll be.
Students will attend the Book Fair during the last 20 minutes of their “Specials” time. Parents are welcome to attend the Book Fair with their child!
Book Fair Dates: 3/6 - 3/10
Shopping Hours: 8:45am-3:00pm
Special Events: Family Night- 3/9 from 4pm-7pm
Before you visit the Book Fair, be sure to download the FREE Book Fairs App to help you find the right fit books for your child. For more information, visit: scholastic.com/apps/bookfairs.
