It’s time for the annual Woodridge Book Fair! The library will make its transition into the greatest bookstore in town from March 4th through March 8th! Huge Scholastic trucks will arrive and deposit thousands of book in carts and boxes. By Tuesday afternoon, the library will be transformed into a virtual laboratory of books! Make it a fun family night on Thursday, March 7th with the first ever Woodridge Sock Hop from 5:30-7:30pm in the gym. Books and dancing for people of all ages! Please check your child’s backpack mail in the coming weeks for important Book Fair information, schedules and volunteer forms.
The Woodridge Book Fair is a very fun and special week for the children. However, there are three important reasons why we have the Book Fair and why the PTSA invests so much time and energy to make it a success:
1. It is vital for children to have their own books and a personal library that they can access during the school year.
2. The Book Fair revenue is a major part of the Woodridge Library Budget. The demand for books to match the curriculum, research books for all reading levels and books to match a wide range of interests for our students creates a long list of books to buy each year. Also, in place is the systemic plan to keep our non-fiction books up to date.
3. Woodridge students are avid readers and it is important to have a good selection of the best new fiction and non-fiction books.
For our Book Fair to be a success, we need your help! There are many volunteer opportunities. If you would like to help at this amazing event, please sign up via the Book Fair 2013 Smartsheet or contact our Book Fair Co-Chair, Holly Steele, at hsteelereturns@gmail.com or 206-313-9673. There will also be online volunteer sign-ups via the PTSA website at www.woodridgeptsa.org.
