Scholastic Books!

Again this year, all Scholastic book orders will be handled through the Meadows Library. Approximately once per month, your child will receive a paper brochure and order form for books.  Checks should be made out to Scholastic Books.  These can be returned to your child’s teacher, to the office, or directly to the library by the end of the month.  Orders take from 3 to 4 weeks to arrive so please be patient.

This year you can also place your Scholastic book orders directly on line and pay with a credit card. Go to www.scholastic.com/clubsordering. The class name is ChrisPrimm and the password is Library.

Ordering books through scholastic is an inexpensive way to build your home library and earns points for our library and classrooms to acquire free books. Any problems or questions with scholastic books should be directed to Chris Primm in the library,cprimm@manhattan.k12.ca.us.
