​Affordable Books for All!
Donate Gently Used Books Now​ .

Are your bookshelves overflowing with young adult novels and books? If so, we have a solution!
​
The DDMS Book Fair Committee will accept your gently used novels and books appropriate for 6th – 8th grade readers.  Your donated books will be made available for our $0.50 book sale that will coincide with our fall book fair . It is our goal to make books affordable for all our students!  In addition to the book sale, some of the books will be added to Ms. Cassidy’s “Speed Read Area” in the Media Center.  If you would like to donate your gently used books (or new ones too!), a collection box will be in the main office. We will be accepting donations for the remainder of this year!  The Book Fair Committee and our students appreciate your generosity!  If you have any questions please contact Alicia Haskell @ ahaskell@me.com
