Bookends

Email bookends@runnels.org to contact Library Bookends Coordinator so that you too can volunteer to help in the elementary library!

Elementary Library Class Schedule

The elementary librarian is assisted by a volunteer group of parents called "Bookends". This group reads selected books to the students and assists with Accelerated Reader Quizzes. Volunteers  may also shelve returned books, repair books, and help the librarian with book fairs and other special fundraising events throughout the year to expand the library's holdings. "Bookends" is a special committee of the R.P.O. (Runnels Parents Organization) Any parent is welcome to join! Contact the "Bookends" coordinator (bookends@runnels.org) if you would like to volunteer.

To participate, complete the form and return your donation to the elementary librarian. Your donation will be used to purchase a book of your choice. A bookplate will be made and placed in the newly acquired book to announce your participation in the Celebration Book Club.

Redemption Programs
The Elementary Library participates in several ongoing commercial label redemption programs. During the school year the money received from label redemptions usually totals over $1000 per year! The elementary librarian uses these funds to buy additional books for the Elementary Library. Please don't underestimate the importance of this program! It brings much needed funds to our library.
