Our Tales and Trails Adventure Night was a dog-gone good time! We read with dogs, met a real sled dog musher, played games, donated pet supplies to PAWS, crafted some puppets, ate trail mix, read with flashlights, wrote stories, won prizes, and played B-A-L-T-O (a.k.a. BINGO)! Whew!
How wonderful to enjoy some family/puppy/book/screen-free joy all in one night! A huge thanks to everyone who helped and to all the families who participated!

So proud of my kiddos!

Congratulations to our Children’s Book Award Nominee Bookmark Design Winners: 1st place - Hannah Simpson, 2nd place - Baker Ross and 3rd place - Kenzi Barnett.
Their bookmark designs are being entered into the statewide competition sponsored by the SC Association of School Librarians. We are so proud of our book-loving artists!

Book Fair was a blast last week! A huge thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers who helped make it such a success. We sold over $13,000 worth of books, journals, and fun pens and pencils, of course! There is no joy like Book Fair Joy, and our MLES Wildcats made some joyful memories, while helping to raise money for our library. We get a percentage of the sales, which will be used to buy books and supplies. Thanks to everyone who contributed, supported and helped. Happy Reading to All!

The book fair is almost here! Shopping begins on Monday, December 8th. Parents, set up your child's wallet at this link!
