We are excited to announce a new project! Building off the success off our ‘new-to-you” book exchanges over the last couple of years, the PS154 Book market will be permanently housed on the MMR, ad will be stocked with gently-used books donated by families. Students will take class trips to the Book Market, and will be able to choose a book to keep. We need your help!

Help stock our shelves! Donate books in good condition by bringing them to the MMR stage between 8:00 and 8:30 on Monday mornings. Boxes/bags of books should be clearly labeled “Book Market”.

Help organize books! Sign up to volunteer to sort label and shelve books. Email Sabrina Baronberg!
