Good Morning Gerry,
I am the Teacher Librarian at West Royalty Elementary and I am presently planning activities for our Library Week Celebrations, May 2 – May 5. One of my activities is to have “Mystery Readers” to the school during that week to read a favourite book, or portion of a book to a class of students. If you are able to volunteer 30 monutes of your time to this endeavour please let me know.
Thanking you in advance for considering this request.
Karen MacKinnon
