CALL FOR BOOKS!
The library is currently looking for donations of new or gently used children’s books.
The donated books will be used in multiple ways, namely, as rewards for students who participate in our I Love to Read month activity. We aim to provide each student with a high-quality, engaging book to take home to keep. The idea is that the more books children have access to, the more they will love to read.
Watch for more information to come on the activity for I Love to Read month. Your continuous support is much appreciated!
Thank you,
Mrs. Britz
