*Bind your OWN Letterbox log book! Learn to make a book by hand.

*Used Book Shoppe and Cafe' (a $1 donation is suggested for each book, coffee and tea is served and the "servers" would appreciate a "Tip" donation, and baked goodies are also available!- for those three special groups that want to work together and really make an impact on PAL's goal lines!)

*Baby's Teether: New baby books and other little baby items, again only a suggested donation amount for each item, at a booth where Mommies can create a "taste" for good books in their littlest Tag-a-longs.
