Library Hosts Book Exchange on Friday, February 26
Students tired of their old books and looking for something “new” to read are invited to participate in the Library's annual book exchange.
Students may start bringing in their books now. One book equals one exchange credit. Please limit yourself to five books. They may be used but must be in good condition. Items may be declined at the discretion of the library staff. Students will visit the library with their classes on the 26th and may “shop” with their exchange credits.
Questions should be directed to Mrs. Lahann (lahannjl@pwcs.edu).
