๐Ÿ“š Book Market - Call for Graphic Novels & Chapter Books ๐Ÿ“ข ๐Ÿ“•

We are accepting graphic novel and chapter book donations (for all ages). Please bring your gently used books and drop them into the blue bins labeled โ€œBook Market Donation Binsโ€ on the stage in the MMR.

Do not donate other book types for the time being - other book genres will be donated externally immediately as we do not have capacity to take them.

Feel free to send back any graphic novels or chapter books previously sourced from the Book Market as well (if your child is ready to part with them!).

Lastly, if your child has any classroom books in their personal libraries - books with a teachers name on it - please return it to the teacher, not the Book Market. Thank you!
