Scholastic Wild West Book Fair
Excitement is in the air about our upcoming book fair as our library is transformed into a wild west celebration of reading! The Book Fair begins Monday, November 13 and runs through 1:15 on Friday, November 17. Students may shop before or after school or we will be open during lunchtime for "Lunch with a Loved One" if you would like to come shopping during your child's lunch. We will be open until 6:00 on Wednesday for parents who are picking up students from KidzU or for others that can't make it during the day. Thanks for your support of the Glenhope Library. What a great way to get books in the hands of our readers!
