In true fashion we got no pictures from Donuts with Grownups or the Book Fair today🫣 but thank you to all that came out!

If you have a photo or photos you’d like to share, we’d love to see them!!

A big thank you to all of the volunteers for making it happen & to Ms. Hedlund & Mr. Buchanan for their support of this event!

We’d also like to give a shoutout to the wonderful businesses that donated donuts for today!

❗️ATTENTION GROWNUPS❗️

If you plan to attend Donuts with Grownups & the Book Fair tomorrow morning, please note the flow of the checkout line for the Book Fair in order to ease congestion for all:

The Book Fair is set up in its usual spot in the middle of the library. Feel free to browse books, posters & novelty items as usual. Once you are ready to purchase, please enter the path starting to the left of the dragon (photo below) & follow the solid colored dots around the back of the book cases. The path will wrap around behind the book fair to the other side of the library, where you will then checkout & exit toward the entrance where you came in, making a big loop.

⭐️Don’t forget while you’re browsing for books for your student(s), to check out the “Teacher Wishlist” table. Teachers have chosen some titles they’d like to have for their classroom libraries that can be purchased on their behalf.

We can’t wait to see everyone tomorrow! 💙

04/07/2025

Don’t forget that starting TODAY students can purchase 1 lollipop per day from the Book Fair, even if they are not purchasing books!

Not only can they win an additional prize if their lollipop stick is colored, but all funds from lollipop sales go toward new books for the library! 🍭

Lollipops are 50 cents each.

Reminder: Book Fair opens tomorrow, April 7th @ 8:00 am.
