Shop for back-to-school reads or treat yourself–every purchase supports the library! The fair is open at the Eldridge branch from July 29th-August 2nd. Shopping hours will be announced soon. Or, shop the fair online anytime: https://bit.ly/sclsfair 

Help us reach our goal of $3,600 in sales! Reaching our goal gives us the maximum reward benefits from Scholastic, in the form of Scholastic Dollars. The library uses Scholastic Dollars to purchase reward books for reading challenges (Summer Reading Program!) and for the circulating collection. The more we earn, the more books we can get in the hands of our community's children.
