Irving Book Fair Update
We just wanted to thank everyone on behalf of the Irving Book Fair!  Your purchases have earned us over $4000 dollars so far this sale for our school library.  Over 74 books were purchased from our teachers’ wish lists to help expand their classroom libraries.
The physical book sale is over, but our online Irving Book Fair continues until October 30th, with a much larger catalog of books to choose from!  All books will be shipped free of charge to the school when the sale is done, and we will deliver them to the classrooms.  It’s a great way to get some holiday shopping done or find a book that you didn’t see at the sale.  Profits from the online sale get added to our physical sale’s total, allowing us to earn some growth bonuses and earn more money for our library!
You can access our online book fair at:
Thank you so much for helping support our school library and build your child’s literacy skills!
