Westwood Announcements

PAPERBACK BOOK EXCHANGE

The Westwood Media Center will host a book exchange and sale. We will accept both paperback and hardcover books!

Here how it works:

· Any student who donates 5 children’s or young adult books in good condition will receive a coupon good for one FREE book at the sale. No adult reading or religious books please.

· It will not matter if the books are paperback or hardcover; a total of five books will earn a coupon. The coupon will buy 1 book at the sale.

· The Library will be open for book donations before school (7:40-7:55, except Wednesday mornings) and after school (2:50-3:15). Children may bring their books starting Tuesday, May 1st.

· The book exchange will start during the week of May 14th and end on May 18th. Students will given time to shop during their typing/read aloud time that week.

· All books will cost 50¢ or one coupon.

We appreciate any donation but especially chapter books for 3rd-5th grade students because last year we did run out.
