BOOK FAIR IS LESS THAN 20 DAYS AWAY!
Start making your shopping lists! The annual
PHS Book Fair at Books Inc. in Laurel Village is coming up on Wednesday, December 10th
from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.
This is the perfect opportunity to get some holiday shopping done while supporting the PHS library at the same time. Wine and snacks will be provided, so drop off the kids at PHS for free childcare and come and join us for this wonderful event at our favorite local bookstore.
Books, Inc. will donate 20% of all sales to PHS during the event,
so please invite your freinds, neighbors and relatives, too!
While you're there, look for a special book display (near the magazines section) from which you can choose books to donate directly to the PHS library. We have pre-selected highly desirable books to add to our collection, and you can help expand our collection on this night. Simply choose one or more books to take with you to the register along with your other purchases. Then let the cashier know which books you're donating to PHS. Write your name on a post-it and hand it to the cashier. The donated books will be collected and brought back to school right after the fair, processed for the library, and be available for students soon after the event. A special bookplate will be added to the book identifying you as the generous donor. Thank you for your support of the readers of PHS!
Need book ideas? Lisa Jeli will provide shoppers with a short book list, recommending authors, series, and titles for different grade levels. If you want more specific recommendtions, please email her in advance for more personalized suggestions. Also check out Powells Books, Books Inc and PlanetEsme's sites for great ideas.
Need ideas for adult books? Come to the fair and talk to other PHS parents; they'll have wonderful recommendations for you. Again, you can also check out Powells and others for super recommendations. (Have to plug the fabulous Powells, being from Portland and all!)
Note: Please notify Cherie Lockwood in advance if you need childcare. Childcare wil be available from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. at PHS with special book-making activities and a pizza or pasta dinner. If you choose to bring children to the book fair, please supervise them well as the event can become quite crowded and is designed primarily for adults.
