Friends of the Library Offers Books4Schools at February Sale
Books4Schools is a program that allows teachers from any publicly supported school to obtain free books for their classrooms. Teachers simply shop for books like other customers at the Sale. At checkout, the teachers show ID and provide a registration number.
Teachers can register from now until February 2 by sending an email to info@losaltoslibraryfriends.org with their name, grade, school and principal's email. Registration must be reactivated before each sale. Those who wish to shop Friday night (members only night) must join the Friends. Membership is $10/year, is available at the sale, and provides 2 tickets to the February Friday night presale in addition to all 4 sales in 2020.
Thank you to the generous donors who make Books4Schools possible. Thank you community donors, we couldn't do this without you.
