Book & Penny Drive to Benefit Local School Libraries:  During conference time, a school-wide book swap will happen and any leftover books will be donated to libraries in our district in need of additional books. Books that can't be used directly by the library will then be donated to a used book sale to raise additional funds for needed items. This money will be supplemented by a Wilder Penny Drive.
