Here are two ideas to keep your family engaged with books.

1. Join the Caldecott Club! Caldecott Info

2. Spring Clean those bookshelves!

We'd love to have all the books your family has outgrown - as long as they are in okay shape and age appropriate (preschool-6th grade). We will either use them in our library or sell them at our year-end book sale. This book sale is a major source of funding to buy new books each year. We need donations! Boxes/bags of books can be dropped off in the office.
