Aine Dirrane is welcoming all to the Scholastic Book Fair, which will be set up in the Watertown Middle School library through Friday, Nov. 30, 2018.

This year, WMS librarian Aine Dirrane is in charge of the book fair, and decided to have a theme; Enchanted Forest. The book fair has everything from mystery to comedy, erasers and pencils, and even some books in Spanish! The featured books consist of authors such as Alan Gratz, Rachel Renée Russell, Gary Paulsen, Jeff Kinney, James Patterson, and more.

A new feature this year is e-wallet. This allows parents to enter their credit card information online at the WMS website, allowing WMS students to buy books without having to carry cash to school. And parents can limit the amount of money they put on it, so kids don’t make their parents go bankrupt!
