Hello, Newcastle families! Thank you for helping to make our Newcastle Library collection current and interesting! If you are interested in donating to Gift-A-Book, please fill out the form (available on Connect, through E-News and via Kid Mail on October 13) with your child's book preference. If the book has already been selected, we will call you to ensure that an alternate title is acceptable.
Students may choose from any category. There are books from the Everybody and Nonfiction sections as well as many series chapter books from the fiction section. Please make sure to include the title, author and price on your Gift-A-Book form.
2011 Gift-A-Book Titles
Newcastle Library Wish List
This is a list of wishes for our library collection. If you have something that you would like to see in the library, but is not on the list, please feel free to request other titles for Gift-A-Book! Our library is for everyone and we need all kinds of great titles so that everyone has a great selection of books!
All Gift-A-Book titles are hardcover books and purchased through Follett Library Resources. These books are bound so that they will last a long time. If you would prefer to purchase a new, hardcover book from another vendor and donate it to our library, we can absolutely include your selection in the Gift-A-Book program.
Thank you so much for helping to take our library OUT OF THIS WORLD!
