Dear L-E Community,

The Lincoln Eliot Book Fair is coming up next week!  And we really need your help to make it a success!

Scholastic Book Fairs will be in the Lincoln Eliot library from Monday, Dec. 11, through Friday morning, Dec. 15, with a special evening event on Thursday, Dec. 14!

We are looking for volunteers to help with the fair, especially this Friday (Dec. 8th) for setup and during the Thursday evening event on the 14th.  Every volunteer will be entered in a raffle to win a free book (of your choice) from the book fair!  (One raffle ticket per time slot you sign up for, so please sign up for as many as you like!)

Sign Up Here to Volunteer for the Book Fair!

Students will be browsing the fair and making wish lists during their regular library hours all week, so please feel free to come in during your child’s library time even if that volunteer slot is already filled.  (Email tui.sutherland@gmail.com if you’re not sure when their library class is!)

There will be buying times after school Monday through Thursday, before school every day all week, and at our Books and Cookies evening event on Thursday.

Get Cozy with Books and Cookies!
Thursday, Dec. 14 from 5-8pm in the cafeteria and library

Put on your coziest pajamas and come celebrate books and the holidays with your Lincoln Eliot friends!  There will be free cocoa and cookies in the cafeteria (and pizza for sale), music, bookish activities — and of course, lots of wonderful books for sale!

There will also be Teacher Wish Lists featured at the Book Fair — this is a great opportunity to choose books from your teachers’ wish lists and buy them as gifts for the classroom libraries!

So please volunteer if you can, and mark your calendars for the Lincoln Eliot Book Fair, where you can do some holiday shopping, give books to our teachers, and support our school library all at the same time.  And we hope everyone can make it to our Get Cozy with Books and Cookies Pajama Party!

Book Fair Buying Times:

Monday, Dec. 11:  7:30 – 8:30am and 3 – 4:30pm

Tuesday, Dec. 12:  7:30 – 8:30am and 12:30 – 2:30pm
