Wanted Book Donations: Copies of the 'One Book One Community' Summer Read -The Trumpet of the Swan
Are you finished with your copy of The Trumpet of the Swan?  I will be collecting copies of the book to donate to Springfield elementary schools. Last year we collected almost 200 copies of our summer read, The One & Only Ivan, which went to two Springfield schools.  The book donation enabled them to run a similar One Book, One Community program for their 5th graders.  Donating your book is an easy way to help our neighboring community, since many of us have this book (generously provided by our PTO/PTA) on our shelves and may not be reading it again.

If you have an unwanted copy of The Trumpet of the Swan that you would like to pass along, please consider donating it.  A collection box will be in the school [location, TBD/approved by principals] Monday, December 5 through Friday, December 9, or you can drop your copy in a collection box at my house (98 Ellington Street) through Sunday, December 7.  Please contact me if you have any questions:  empaulson@comcast.net.  Your contribution is greatly appreciated!

Sincerely, 
Beth Paulson

Hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving break!
