Adaire Library Book Donations
Over the past few months the library has gone through a transformation. Old books have been replaced with more updated titles and copies. But we aren’t finished yet!
We are still hoping to obtain popular books and missing books in a Series.
If anyone has any books listed on the library WISH LIST and could donate them to our library
it would be greatly appreciated. Please email our library volunteers at adairelibraryvolunteers@gmail.com so we can remove it from our list and coordinate a drop off at school or a pickup at your house.
