The Second Annual Dickinson/Explorer Used Book Faire (Dragon's Lair) is coming up soon. The sale will run March 12-15. In order to make this sale yet another stunning success, we need your donations. A collection box will appear in the lobby after our return from Mid-Winter Break, on February 21st. Please clear out those unwanted books and games, and send them on to be enjoyed by another eager reader. We accept children's books of all ages, as well as 'grown-up books.' We also accept movies on DVD or video (G or PG only please). Sorry, we don't take magazines. 

Accept the challenge! Clear out those shelves to make room for new treasures. I can't wait to see what you dig up! Questions?  Email: sseabrooks@dickinsonptsa.org.
