USED BOOKFAIR IS ALMOST HERE
The third grade classes at Ormondale are happily sponsoring a Used Book Fair to help a needy charity. We would like the community to use one of the 4 “r”s of waste management, reuse, in order to help the charity and save our environment as well.
Beginning the first week in January and continuing through February 28th, you will be able to drop off your books, CDs, DVDs. There will be kids out front collecting your kind donations in the morning drop off line at Ormondale. For Corte Madera families, there will be a collection box in the library.
We will be accepting:
All children’s books
All tween books
CD’s
DVD’s
Vinyl Albums
Adult Categories: Cookbooks, coffee table books, travel books, self help books
We hope that the entire community can join us as we celebrate reusing and sharing, from March 2nd to March 6th in the Ormondale MUR.
