PWT Book Swap

 

 

What is the Book Swap? 
It's a used book exchange for students at the Primary and Intermediate Schools.

How do students participate?
Students bring used books in good condition to their class between January 15th through the 25th.  Students receive one Book Buck coupon for each book turned in, with a limit of ten (10) coupons given to each student.  Extra donated books are always welcomed and needed.

When do I get the Book Buck Coupons?
Teachers usually hand out the Book Buck coupons the day before, or the day of the book swap to students.

How do I use the Book Bucks?
Students bring the Book Bucks to the book swap and pick out new used books.  Each book is worth one Book Buck coupon.

Can I buy books without a Book Buck Coupon?
Yes, the last hour of the book swap, books will be available for sale.

What happens to left over books?
The books are donated first to the school library, then to teachers for classroom use.  The Librarian then has a process in place to donate any extra books.

How can I help?
Volunteers are needed the day and evening of the book swap to help set up and sort the books, help swap the books and help pack up after the swap.  Please contact Sandy Bishop 253-5323 if you are interested.

Other Information
We try to sort the books in categories to make shopping easier.  Books go very fast, the more books donated the better selection we have for the students.  Adult books are also welcome (appropriate content).  These books are also sorted for swapping, and if available parents can use their child's Book Bucks for swapping.
