Book Fair News!

Breaking News! Today we decided to add another Family Event to this year's book fair schedule:

Saturday, November 3rd from 9 a.m. - 12 noon.

Tomorrow, look for the yellow paper with the latest news, including a reminder about our kick-off 

Family Event this Friday, October 26th from 4:30-6:15. We'll close up the Book Fair in time to let families attend the Magic Show and the very popular Pumpkin Glow.

 The Scholastic boxes and cases of books were delivered yesterday and two of our 3rd grade students,  C and M,  helped me publicize our upcoming Book Fair. Here's a link for more info:http://bookfairs.scholastic.com/homepage/charlestownschoollibrary

Book Fair is Coming!

Did you see the pink sheet among yesterday's (10-11) backpack stack? If not, be sure to look for it to learn about our upcoming Scholastic Book Fair. The important information includes:

• A special Family Event on Friday, October 26th, from 4:30-6:15 p.m. This kickoff to our book fair will precede the Magic Show and Pumpkin Glow for a complete family night.

Regular Book Fair hours, 9-4 p.m., the following week,  
October 29th - November 2nd. Friday, Nov. 2nd will feature a  "Last Chance to Shop" on  until 5 p.m.

• Children in Grades 1-4 are able to shop during their scheduled library classes, so if you want to send money, they'll need it on their library day. Kindergarten students don't shop during library class and we encourage families to come to our Family Event or during other times we are open.

Danielle Reardon has been helping me as Co-Chair and I look forward to seeing other parents and family members as volunteers, shoppers, or browsers. 

Speaking of volunteers -

If you want to volunteer, fill out and return the bottom of that pink sheet or email, call, or send a note to me.

They Love to Read!

  on

This photo was taken today with part of Mrs. Truppi's 2nd grade class. Because they needed to go directly from Library to the Hearing Screening, I was with these avid readers until Mrs. Truppi joined us a couple of minutes later. Before going down the hallway, we discussed how they could read silently as they waited outside the screening room. The students in the photo had finished their screening and were waiting until their classmates were done. I was so impressed, I just had to take a picture - sorry I didn't get everyone because they were all busy readers!

 Another reminder  - Book Fair is coming soon - 

October 26-Nov. 2 with a special Family Event
