Book Fair News
GCA Book Fair a Success!
Thank you to everyone who made a purchase during our Christmas Book Fair! I hope you all were able to find some great Christmas gifts. The Fair was so fun and a big success for the library! The feedback received was positive, especially about the company being a Christian company. It was wonderful being able to trust all the books sent! The "Guess How Many Snowballs" contest winner was Allison - her guess was only 4 off the total number of "snowballs", which was 125. Enjoy your Heidi book! On behalf of the library, thank you again!

Be on the lookout for some exciting news coming after the Christmas Break!
