You’ll keep the books in alphabetical or numerical order and can earn 15 minutes volunteer time. Do the math – that’s 15 minutes twice a month which equals 30 minutes a month x 8 months for a total of 4 hours by the end of the year. Take on additional shelves, earn more hours. See Mrs. Auth for an application. APR’s Book Logging FormPick up copies of this from any Reading or ELA teacher or in the media center.
