HICKLEBEE’S BOOK FAIR

Booksin is thrilled to partner with Hicklebee’s Bookstore once again to transform our library into a mini bookstore! The Winter Book Fair will run from Monday, December 9, to Friday, December 13. Students, parents, and friends are invited to shop a wonderful selection of books and small gifts perfect for kids. Books make thoughtful gifts for all ages, so get some of your holiday shopping done at the book fair!

Volunteers Needed: The Book Fair is entirely volunteer-run. Shifts are 1-2 hours and include tasks like working the cash registers, monitoring lines, and greeting visitors at the door. Interested in getting involved? Sign up in Konstella: Committees → School-wide Events → Winter Book Fair.  A sign up with specific shift times will be available closer to the event. Questions? Contact Christine Eggers at bookfair@mybesca.com.
