Merit Awards Week 5 and Week 6
? Following up from last week’s newsletter...
Here’s another light-hearted nudge (with love) to help our wandering books find their way home.
✨ Wanted: Lost Library Books ✨
Reward: Lifelong Library Love + Seriously Good Book Karma
Some of our books are still missing—last seen hiding in tote bags, relaxing under beds, or blending in on home bookshelves like literary ninjas. Wherever they are, we know they’re thinking of us.
So if you've got a stowaway library book at home, now’s the perfect time to return it. No awkward questions. No judgement. Just open arms (and open shelves).
? Bring them back. Bring them home. Be the hero your library needs.
?️♂️ Reunite books with their shelf-mates. Restore balance to the stacks.
❤️ Your school library thanks you.!!!
