Book Exchange


Students can bring in books that they have read and trade them for another book to read and keep or to trade again.  Each book that is traded has a signature page that students can sign to let other students know that they have read and traded that book.  To join the book swap program parents have to sign a permission slip and bring a book from home to trade.  Students can trade one book per week on their scheduled library day.
