Putting up posters in the hall

Telling kids to watch the advertisement video

Giving them stickers with monkeys on them

Handing out tabloids about the books

Rescheduling bus duty from the library to somewhere else

Getting volunteers for chili supper

Getting teacher wish lists

Wondering why I have to do this to make money for books for kids (the kids are spending their families’ money)

Knowing that the kids won’t have enough money to buy books ($3.99 is the cheapest)and so they will buy junk–erasers, pencils, bookmarks instead

There’s something oxymoronic about all this.
