Shelby Community Library

Shelby-Rising City Students Enjoy New Books!
Students at the Shelby-Rising City Public Schools and community patrons will be reading some great new books thanks to the Libri Foundation’s Books for Children program and Pinnacle Bank of Shelby. The Shelby Community Library received a grant of 63 books, a value of $1052.08. This was a matching fund grant. The $350 portion of the local funds was paid by the Pinnacle Bank Teacher Scholarship, which they award annually. The grant award would not have been possible without the support of the bank and Libri Foundation. As seen in the picture, students really appreciate the new books and are looking forward to reading them. The Libri Foundation is a nonprofit organization that provides books for rural public libraries throughout the nation.

A Scholastic Book Fair is coming to The Shelby Community Library from Monday, September 24, 2012, to Saturday 29, 2012.

Here’s how the Book Fair works. You and your family are invited to come during any of our library hours. Our Book Fair hours are Monday, Tuesday & Thursday 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Wednesday 12:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., Friday 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Saturday 9:30 to 12:30 p.m. We think you’ll be happily surprised at the varied selection and reasonable prices. Besides bringing in affordable appropriate books to your community, the goal of our Book Fair is to add books to the children’s section in the Library. One way is with the Wish List, which allows you to donate books to your library or child’s class room in your family’s name. Be sure to look for the Wish List display when you arrive. For your convenience, our Book Fair accepts credit cards! Discover, Visa, Master Card and American Express. If for some reason you can’t make it or you want to continue shopping from an expanded selection, you can now visit the Fair online – www.scholastic.com/schoolbookfairs.
The online Fair:
• Is available for an extended time and all orders ship FREE to school
• Offers an expanded book selection for all ages from preschool to adult.

All in school and online Book Fair purchases benefit our school and library.
