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.  

It is our goal to make books affordable for all our students!  Your donated books will be made available for our $0.50 book sale that will coincide with our bi-annual book fair . In addition to the book sale, some of the books will be added to Ms. Cassidy’s “Speed Read Area” in the Media Center. 

We accept donations though-out the year!  A collection box is located in the front office.  The Book Fair Committee and our students appreciate your generosity!
