Great job!

Hello friends of the library,

April's over and so are the School Library Month celebrations! Here are some of the highlights:

*We had a successful Dress up Day fundraiser, where we raised $135 to send to Belmar Elementary School to help re-build their library after Hurricane Sandy! Lots of teachers and students dressed up and you all looked great!

*We finished the puzzle!!! It took 14 days for kids and staff members to finish placing all 1,000 pieces!

*The Scavenger Hunt Challenge winner was sixth grader Samantha Siragusa!

There are still I <3 my library bookmarks left- stop on by to pick one up.
