OB’s Book Bucks Program!
What is it? Book Bucks is an annual program sponsored by your OBPTO to ensure that every child receives a “just right” book for them to keep!
When is it? During the Scholastic Book Fair in the OB Library.
How does it work? First, The OBPTO purchases a large selection of books for all ages and abilities, at the Scholastic Warehouse Sale in December. Then in February, upon exiting the book fair EVERY child receives a “book buck” that they can spend to purchase one book of their choice at the Book Bucks table.
Owning a book is a big step to becoming a life- long reader and lover of books!
