Fall Updates

Fall Updates

The fall months have flown by this year!  Here are some new updates and ideas to share.

Online Book Fair

With our usual beginning of the year book fair cancelled we have pivoted to an online book fair.  This year Junior Library Guild is our sponsor.  Take a look, shop till ya' drop!  All orders shipped directly to your door and proceeds benefit the KPHS Library.

This month's example is Native Americans, highlighting National Native American Heritage month. Click image to take a peak.
