A Sweet Week at Groves: Books, Treats & Big Futures

The Bookfair is Coming! Best. Week. Ever. (Seriously.)

The Scholastic Book Fair is rolling into Groves, and the Media Center/Library is about to transform into a pop-up bookstore packed with the newest must-read titles, bestselling series, and favorite characters students can’t wait to get their hands on. It’s a full week of browsing, discovering, and falling in love with reading all over again.
