In an effort to provide students with the resources to help foster a love for reading, Edmund W. Miles Middle School hosted its annual free book fair, with this year’s theme “Give Thanks for Books.”

To gather books for the event, librarian Lynn Cesiro collected gently used donated books from The Book Fairies organization, discarded books from the Oceanside Public Library, the library in her community and the Carle Place High School as well as other sources. During parent-teacher conferences on Nov. 19, students and their parents were able to select one free book from the fair.

Students visited the fair with their English classes and had the opportunity selected books until the day before Thanksgiving break.
