Do you or someone you know like the smell of new books? Are you procrastinating buying gifts for the holidays? Well, you’re in luck: next week will be the annual Teen Volunteer Scholastic Book Fair!!!

The book fair is run entirely by the CCPL Teen Volunteers; not only do they run the fair, but they receive matching funds according to the profits from the fair. They use the money raised to purchase books from the fair to donate to various youth service agencies in our community. These agencies include GARF, Boys and Girls Club, the YES house, and many other agencies. The fair is a great time to shop for gifts for others or for yourself! Products you’ll find include holiday-themed books, childrens and teen fiction and nonfiction books, and stocking stuffers.

 Monday, December 6, 5-7pm

Tuesday, December 7, 9:15-11:30am, 3-7pm

Wednesday, December 8, 9:15-11:30am, 1:30-7pm
