A Whole New World

This fall's book fair was a MAJOR success and we're so happy that families attended and enjoyed all the books and toys, as well as those who took advantage of our FIRST online book fair.

A big THANK YOU goes out to our Book Fair Chair, Lillya Wang, and co-chairs, Becky Bell, Jaimi Hergenrader, and Clarissa Manno! Thanks to their hard work, a significant amount of money was raised for our awesome library. We're already psyched about the next one!
