Quick Update
It's been a lull week in terms of news for the blog, but things have been progressing from my end. Not only have we received some great donations, we are also getting alot of volunteer interest in the gift wrapping days, and MLK Day! I still need help on the mornings of the gift wrapping days though - so feel free to pass this along to others!
I had a great meeting last week with a content specialist for public school libraries in the School District - and got some great information about how to weed existing collections. Our MLK Day volunteers will get trained in this, and hopefully we can continue even beyond MLK Day!

Its here! Sign ups for Gift Wrapping!
On Monday December 12, Wednesday December 14 and Thursday December 15, Library Build will not only be holding a book fair with Barnes and Noble, but we will also be gift wrapping!!!
ALL proceeds from the gift wrapping go directly to Library Build - so its a great way to get involved and to know that you really helped out Rowen's students!
I have broken all three days into two hour shifts, but feel free to sign up for an "off" shift - I appreciate any and all help (and customers won't be pleased if its me gift wrapping for 10 hours a day... by the end the presents won't look so good, I'm sure...).
So here's the breakdown:
For December 12, 14, and 15 (yes, I know the 13th is skipped - we won't be gift wrapping on the 13th).
8AM - 10AM
10AM - 12PM
12PM - 2PM
2PM - 4PM
4PM - 6PM
6PM - 8PM
8PM - 10PM
Send me an email of a time, or times, when you can help out, at calliehammond@librarybuild.org
Here's what you can look forward to as one of our volunteers:
1. A performance by Rowen's students on one of the days (still deciding what day, but will announce it soon!)
2. Artwork all three days by Rowen's students featuring drawings of their favorite stories, books, and what books mean to them!
3. A chance to greet people during the holiday season and tell them about the need for libraries in Philadelphia's public schools!
4. My eternal gratitude!
5. Emails and invitations to upcoming Library Build events, including a Book Festival in the works for June or July, and to our launch party, and other amazing events!
6. A cool Library Build button!
Sign up! Go! and go libraries!

Our voucher number is: 10570174
You will need to present this at the time of purchase (in store, or online!) for Library Build to receive a portion of the sale. Remember, you can shop at any B&N in the nation, not just in Philadelphia!

Barnes and Noble and Library Build
You read that title right!
I am so very pleased to announce that I am planning a book fair at Barnes and Noble Rittenhouse to benefit Library Build during the week of December 12, 2011!
Once the specifics are in place, I will post a voucher to this blog and to facebook. You can use the voucher to support Library Build in ANY Barnes and Noble Booksellers in the United States! So save up your Christmas book lists and shop for Library Build!
How it works:
Barnes and Noble uses the voucher to track who is supporting Library Build. A portion of every sale goes directly to Library Build. The exciting part is that the more people who buy for us, the more money we end up making for Rowen School!
This is a great way for us to get our name and mission out into a broader community here in Philadelphia.
Look for more information to come next week!
