Students explored the shelves, picked out their favorite reads, and lined up with excitement to make their purchases. A big thank you to the families who joined us and the volunteers who helped things run smoothly.
Life without books is like an unsharpened pencil—it has no point. So sharpen those minds and keep on reading!
