December Book Fair Accolades

This year’s Book Fair was an incredible success. The FWCD Libraries would like to thank all of the students, parents, and grandparents for their overwhelming generosity. More than $30,000 in books was sold, which translated into hundreds of new books for students of all ages in the coming months. Charles Nash Elementary School in Fort Worth ISD was the beneficiary of FWCD’s annual Books for Kids program. A new book for every student at the school, as well as a few new hardback books for their library, was delivered to that school. Through the FWCD Libraries partnership with the Upper School Student Council and their Kindness Initiative T-shirt sales, a donation of $4,600 also was made to the school to help refresh their library collection. 

The FWCD Book Fair is a special event that could not be successful without its army of volunteers. Thank you to each and every volunteer who gave up precious time to come and lend a hand. A special thank you to Linda Stewart, Book Fair Chair, for her tireless efforts before, during and after the fair. In addition to the volunteers, FWCD’s Plant Operations Team helped set up and tear down the fair. Their work behind the scenes makes all the difference.
