"Lights, Camera, Action" was Perry Carnegie Library's annual Scholastic Book Fair theme this year. The fair was held in the Thelma Knox Brown Conference Room the first week of June. Sales were out of sight, a 41% increase from last year. Fair profits enable the library to purchase books and other items for the Children's and Teen Departments. A BIG THANK YOU goes out to: Friends of the Library, our staff, and most of all the public for your continued support. We are currently making plans to host the 2010 Scholastic Book Fair.
