If you were in a room full of books, which one would you choose? That’s the question our students aimed to answer at the annual Stephen Gaynor School Book Fair held on Thursday, November 21, in the Performing Arts Center. This year we partnered again with McNally Jackson Books, a local NYC bookstore with an incredibly extensive and diverse collection of titles, authors, and genres. The fair had books ranging from picture books and early readers, all the way to books for young adults and adults. We hope everyone found something special! The fair also featured books by Jacqueline Woodson, who had visited Gaynor earlier in the month to speak to students about her books and answer questions about what being a published author is like.
After they made their purchases, students received a McNally Jackson canvas tote bag, and used it to carry their books up the stairs to the “Book Nook” in the mezzanine. The fair also featured an array of Gaynor gear, and by the end there wasn’t a single plush alligator left! Thank you to the Parents’ Association Book Fair Committee led by Katy Williamson and Sam Regan, and thank you to the parent volunteers for all of their hard work stocking the shelves and ringing up totals. Another success for the books!
