Greenbriar Book Fair
The Greenbriar Book Fair, “All Star Book Fair: Every Reader Is A Star,” runs from 1 to 8 p.m. Oct. 11 and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 12, and from 9 a.m. to noon Oct. 13, in the multi-purpose room at Greenbriar School, 1225 Greenbriar Lane.

The fair will feature new and award-winning titles, children’s classics and current bestsellers.
During the fair, Greenbriar will participate in “All For Books,” an effort to put more books into the hands of children.

In addition, Scholastic will match Greenbriar’s monetary donations and donate books to the school library.
