It’s Book Fair Week at Lincoln-Eliot, which means we’ll be celebrating books and reading all week long!

Everyone is welcome to stop by to shop the book fair Monday-Thursday before and after school, starting at 8am and going until 4pm (2:30pm on Tuesday).

Tuesday morning, all parents and guardians are invited to come to the library for a Brrreakfast with Books coffee morning between 8-10am.  This is your chance to browse the fair without your children (and maybe buy some holiday presents!).

Wednesday is Book Character Day, where kids (and our amazing teachers) can come to school in costume as a favorite book character!  Click here for some ideas, or stop by the library on Tuesday to pick up a costume item to wear on Wednesday.  We’ll also have costume crafts in the library after school on Tuesday, for anyone who’d like to come cut out and color their own unicorn horns, Wimpy Kid faces, and more!

And Thursday is our Books and Cookies Pajama Party!  Join us from 5-8pm — in pajamas, if you’d like to! — for free cocoa and cookies, fun crafts, book scavenger hunts, and browsing the fair!  We’ll have wish lists from the teachers for their classroom libraries, and there will be pizza for sale in the cafeteria, plus a donation bin for Cradles to Crayons.  We hope to see you there!

But if you can’t make it to the fair this year, there’s also an online book fair shopping option, which you can get to through our Book Fair Homepage.  There you’ll find an extended selection of over 6,000 books and free shipping on (books-only) orders over $25, and purchases made through the Lincoln-Eliot page between Dec. 4-17 earn 25% in rewards for the school.  Plus, this year, orders ship directly to your home!  (So please feel free to share the site with faraway friends and family!)

Thank you for celebrating books with us and supporting our school at the same time!

See you at the fair!
