Book Fair Chronicle: installment #2

So, what will be at the book fair? Well, there will be lots of fiction and lots of comics. Why not think about getting a book to read while you're on Spring Break? Find something fun and take the opportunity to read something that you don't HAVE to read! If you have any requests for titles, please tell the librarians or post them here.

3rd Annual Library Book Fair

The Book Fair is just around the corner. Here is the first installment of the Book Fair Chronicles. Installment #1: You should buy books at the book fair because it supports the library. We will buy books written by local authors and support our community. Eventually, we will choose some to invite to school where they will offer workshops for students. So, it's a good thing.
