If by chance you’re clearing out your collection of books to make room for new ones at Christmas, the school libraries at West and Northstar elementary schools would like to have your old ones.

The two libraries are looking for new or gently-used books to put on their shelves for the students to check out; donations can be brought directly to either school.

West and Northstar will again be sponsoring their Book Bingo reading event; this is a fun activity for students from kindergarten through 5th grade, and is designed to encourage them to read books over the Christmas break.
