On Tuesday, April 28th we will host our annual used book fair. This year, we will have a change of venue -the gym. I am hoping that with a larger area to display the books, the children will have a better chance to browse and make their selections. As always, we look forward to your donations of gently used books. Please try to only send in books that you would want your own child purchasing. We will NOT be accepting any encyclopedias, text books, manuals, etc. Also, please do not send in any books with inappropriate cover illustrations.
I will also be looking for any available parents to help the children select and purchase their books. If you are interested, please email me with a time frame you would be available.
Any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
As always, the funds raised from this book fair will go directly into our library, so please feel free to make any suggestions.

Hard to believe that we are now upon the last trimester of the school year. Your children have taught me so much and have made me feel so welcome in their library. One of the many discussions we have had over the course of the year has been what your child is actually reading. I have had this conversation with many classes and I have extended an invitation to all of them, and now I extend it to you - if you or your child has a suggestion on a book or magazine that they feel others would enjoy, please do not hesitate to contact me. Nothing gives me more pleasure than to have a student tell me how much they enjoyed a book, or to actually have a student ask for a recommendation for a good book. With your help, I would like to use this opportunity to expand our selection to include titles that your child would have an interest in reading. Also, if you feel that we could use an update on some research materials, please feel free to make that suggestion as well. I am learning what projects the teachers are assigning and I am more that willing to provide the materials right here for your child's use.
