<p>Come and support our bi-annual event to restock our library. A variety of subjects and categories have been chosen by Ms. Broderick to best support teachers, students and classroom curriculum. With your generous donations ($15 per book), it will be possible to continue to purchase relevant, up to date fiction and non-fiction materials, which will improve the average age of our library collection.</p>
<p>Stop by the display table and choose a book to dedicate to someone, OR complete the order form (will be sent home in school folders) to request a particular subject or category of book. A bookplate honoring your teacher, administrator, or family member of choice will be added inside the book, along with a personalized message.</p>
<p>We are also looking for volunteers to help at the sales table. If you are able to help us for just 50 minutes from 8:10 until 9:00am during the sale week (June 3rd – 7th) please sign up using this link:</p>
