BOOK FAIR VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Your school’s Book Fair needs volunteers. Will you sign up? You can make a big difference by giving your time and talent to:
- Help your school earn the rewards of hosting a successful Fair.
- Run an event that makes book lovers out of hesitant, curious, or developing readers.
- Make life a little easier for hardworking school staff.
- Share the fun of discovering new books with your favorite young reader.
There are so many ways to contribute. Your school might need help setting up and decorating, staffing the Fair and special events, and packing up. You can even pitch in from home by designing posters or promoting the Fair online.
If you're interested in helping out with the Book Fair, please contact the librarian, Ms. Cavazos, at 210-438-6560 Ext 5 for more information.

The Librarian Who Measured the Earth by Kathryn Lasky
Cleversticks by Bernard Ashley
Rosie Revere, Engineer by Andrea Beaty
Rosie Revere dreamed of becoming a great engineer. Where some people see rubbish, Rosie sees inspiration. Alone in her room at night, shy Rosie constructs great inventions from odds and ends. Hot dog dispensers, helium pants, python-repelling cheese hats: Rosie’s gizmos would astound—if she ever let anyone see them.
Afraid of failure, she hides them away under her bed. Until a fateful visit from her great-great-aunt Rose (AKA Rosie the Riveter!), who shows her that the first flop isn’t something to fear—it’s something to celebrate. And you can only truly fail, if you quit.
