Don't Wait for the Elves...Time to Clean Those Bookshelves!

The Book Swap will take place in the Library during the week of March 18. Every student at Fort River can choose at least one book to bring home without spending a dime!! The number of books they receive will depend on donations. Please donate your gently used books for ages K-6. Donate as many books as you like and keep in mind that we always have a shortage of books for 5th & 6th grade. Adult level books are often great for the older kids, but please be sure they are appropriate. Reference books, dictionaries, thesauruses, are also welcome for the older grades. Collection boxes are in the Library entrances and outside the Main Office. We will collect books through the week of March 11, but the sooner we have your books the better! We also need volunteers to help with sorting, setting up, and working the Swap. Sorting and set-up will take place during school hours on Wed-Fri the week before. Details on volunteering will follow. If you are interested please contact Pam Rietkerk at pjrietkerk@aol.com or 256-2605. This is a fun event and many hands make light work!
