Birthday/Dedication Books

STS Librarians and teachers have selected books needed for the library and classrooms. These books will be available to purchase in person and donate in honor of someone. Each birthday/dedicated book will receive a special nameplate on the inside cover to indicate the person the gift is honoring. These books will be on a special table in the Library.

Giving Back

Let's share our love of reading with other local children! Purchase a book from the Book Fair or send in new (or very gently used) books to donate to a local Title I school. 

Donation bins will be located near the doors from November 17th-21st.
