Swap Your Old Childrens' Books for Summer Reads

Are you wondering what to do with those once favorite children's books just sitting on bookshelves?

Children can lose their ability to read over the summer if they do not continue to practice reading. There is help just around the corner.

Please send your gently used children’s books to the Myers Library after Monday, May 28^th (Memorial Day weekend) or prior to Monday June 3rd..

The Myers library ladies will give your child a ticket for every book(s) they bring in. The last week before school is out, Myers students can choose a different book(s) (one for each book donated) to keep give them new reads for the summer break. We also have drawings for books planned as well.

Reader's Guide to Recycled Literature and Escape Fiction have both agreed to help support this Myers event by donating books too! Thank you to these local bookstores for encouraging young people to keep reading and help parents put books in homes

One more thing, remember to model good reading habits for your children. Parents are great teachers too.

Just a reminder: Reader’s Guide at 1105 Edgewater St NW, Salem, takes trade for used childrens’ and adults’ books. Thank you to everyone for donating their trade to Myers School. Your support helps keep our school library strong!
