Book Donations Needed NOW for School Book Share

The book share is back! Please bring your donations in during January so we can have a successful Book Share right before February break. 

What is the Book Share? It's a wonderful school-wide event that celebrates reading and giving. Families donate books they've finished and free up more space for more books in home libraries. Once volunteers organize the gifted books every student has a chance to "shop" the collection (with help!) All students generally leave with multiple "new to them" books!

Free up some shelf space, give a book another chance to be loved, and support literacy all at once!

Nonfiction, puzzle books, chapter books, picture books  — we want it all! We always seem to especially need chapter books for the higher grades.

There is a donation bin near the entrance to the office at Fort River. Thanks to Deb Leonard for once again coordinating this event! Contact Deb dleeleonard@gmail.com if you would prefer your donations to be picked up. Thank you!

PGO Book Share THIS WEEK! June 6 - 10

PLEASE continue to send in any books that your child(ren) are finished with and would like to donate!!!  


We need enough books for every student in Fort River to select a book to take home, to keep, to start their summer reading fun!!  The 5th and 6th grade reading level books are especially needed.

There is a collection box in the front lobby, by the office door, for the donations.

Volunteers just cover a time slot when a class comes in to the library, help students select books from the tables designated for that class, make sure the books out on the tables look orderly.

See below for the schedule of when each class will be attending the event, in the Fort River Library.  Each class will only take about 20 minutes, not the whole hour time slot.  You may want to come during your child's class' time to be there with your child, so look for their teacher's name on the schedule.

To sign up to volunteer, email Mary Beth Meade  callfonmeade@comcast.net or Deb Leonard dleeleonard@gmail.com  -- just tell us the time you will be there. You can also simply show up at your child's scheduled time.
