Got books? If you're spring cleaning and happen upon a stack of books you don't know what to do with, we can use them!
The media center is currently accepting gently used books for an end of the year used book fair.
We will accept books for all ages, and you may drop them off any time during school hours.
All books collected will be sold at our Used Book Sale, May 7-9, in the media center. This will be a great time to stock up on books for the summer.
