B&N Book Fair

Yesterday, nine members of the Teen Advisory Board spent the day wrapping presents at the library's Book Fair fundraiser at the Barnes & Noble in Broomall. We made $71 for teen programs at Sellers Library, mostly thanks to two generous donors who each gave us $20. The heavy snow put a damper on the shopping in the late afternoon, but it was still a good day. Thanks to Alexa, Amy, Stephanie, Judy, Elena, Genni, Nitha, Kaitlyn, Christine, and Emily who each took a two-hour shift at the table.

If you missed it, don't worry! If you shop there any time until Friday, just tell them you're shopping for the Upper Darby Libraries and we'll get the credit. All of the money raised goes to fund programs for kids and teens, so you will definitely benefit from this!

I saved some of our book budget for this day, so the TAB wrappers also helped me select some books for the teen section. We bought a bunch of new stuff that will probably arrive on the shelves next week:
