CDS Book Fair

CDS Annual Book Fair

November 13-17, 2023

Come one, come all to the annual CDS Book Fair! It is going to be “SOME FAIR!” brought to you by the PA Friends of the Library. There will be books for all ages and reading levels, wish baskets for our teachers to stock their classroom libraries, and events throughout the week for the CDS community to enjoy. It’s also a perfect place to get some holiday shopping done early! A portion of every Book Fair sale directly supports our library programs, including the student Caldecott and Newbery medals and prize books, school-wide storytellers and visiting authors, and more. It’s going to be TERRIFIC and you won’t want to miss it!
