Event Report: Barnes and Noble Bookfair 2013

On Saturday, Nov. 23, 2013, Barnes and Noble at Bradley Fair hosted a book fair to benefit the Andover Public Library. Here is Librarian Cheri greeting people at the door. 

Several books we wanted for the library collection were on display near the entrance. Thanks to the generosity of our patrons, we will be able to acquire $1000 worth of free books for our library.

Teachers from Primrose Academy hosted a face painting table. They also painted hands.

Thank you, Primrose Academy, for helping with our book fair.

The Prairie Creek Panthers elementary school choir performed a selection of holiday songs for a large crowd.

The choir's performance could be seen from the café . 

Costumed Star Wars characters promoted our event and posed for pictures with customers. Here we have librarian Tiffany (right) posing with Aayla Secura (left).

Library director Tom (center front) poses with two imperial gunners and Han Solo (in his cold-weather Hoth gear, center back).

In the afternoon, the Corry Academy of Irish Dancers showcased their award-winning dancers of all ages and all levels.

Just look at those lovely, traditional Irish dancing costumes! Thank you, Corry Academy, for a wonderful performance!
