BRACKETT ELEMENTARY PTO
Brackett Book Fair
The Brackett Book Fair raises funds to benefit the Brackett Library.
The PTO Library Committee partners with Fantastic Book Fairs (run by Arlington’s local book store, The Book Rack) to bring an annual book fair to Brackett. Proceeds from book sales go directly to the Brackett Library; librarians use these funds to purchase new books for the library.
If you have any questions about the Book Fair, please email bookfair@brackettpto.org.
