Saratoga Reads will launch its sixth year with a book fair featuring activities for the whole family on Sunday, Dec. 6, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., at Barnes & Noble, Route 50, Wilton.
The Book Fair has become the traditional kick-off to the Saratoga Reads “season” and a way to introduce the community to each year’s winning book and junior companion titles. As usual, it was a fun and festive event featuring music and entertainment throughout the day. Hundreds of people from the community came out to “shop for Saratoga Reads” and enjoy the day’s events. Barnes & Noble donates a portion of all designated proceeds to Saratoga Reads. Thanks to everyone who supported our Book Fair this year!
One of the highlights of the Book Fair is the Expressions of Caring presentations by Saratoga Springs School District students in grades K-12. All students whose entries are selected by the school district for publication in the Expressions of Caring journal are invited to present their art or written work at Barnes & Noble, and the presentations are always a popular program.
The photo here shows students in grades 6-8 who presented their winning journal entries, along with Marjie Herman, librarian from the Maple Avenue Middle School, who coordinated middle school participation in the Expressions of Caring program.
