Weekly Highlights

Whew! This week has been exhausting! I had an elementary book fair all week for a Christian school I have never worked with before. Last year the librarian did EVERYTHING for the book fair herself, which is hard considering she is part-time. The book fair had a little over $2200 in sales last year. This year she decided to try Usborne...I did ALL the work for her & with 20 less kids in the school than last year, the book fair did over $3050 (and that number could increase because the eFair doesn't end until midnight tonight)! Needless to say, the librarian was ecstatic...which makes me SO happy!!! I LOVE my job!!!! :)

Here are some highlights from this week...

• Jessica Wood (Leighton, AL) and Michelle Swinney (Hamilton, AL) did a book fair at Northwest-Shoals Community College this week to raise books for the schools destroyed in the April 27 tornadoes in Phil Campbell and Hackleburg...the book fair had sales of over $1400, which means that each school is getting $350 in brand new, library-bound books!!! We are so blessed to have a business that allows us to help our communities!!!

• Sarah Walaschek (Huntsville, AL) is moving back to her hometown in Pennsylvania! She is excited to take a piece of our Usborne team to PA...what a great reminder that this job can move with you! :)

• Amy Snead (Weaver, AL) has her kick-off party tomorrow!
  

The fall is upon us...let's keep filling our calendars & take advantage of this wonderful season! :)
