Book fair at La Escuelita

La Escuelita, the dual-language preschool on West 91st Street, is hosting its annual book fair/feria del libro Tuesday and Wednesday. The majority of the books, selected by La Escuelita’s early childhood educators, are under $10, with most not available at traditional booksellers. Proceeds benefit La Escuelita’s staff development fund, which allows the teachers at the not-for-profit school to continue their education.

“The La Escuelita Book Fair/Feria Del Libro is one of our favorite events at the school because it brings the local Spanish dual language community together for a great cause; bi-literacy!” says Kelley Grant, the school’s administrative director.

The fair will also feature a storytime area where children, teachers and parents can read favorite books together. Refreshments and baked goods will also be available.

Times for the fair are Tuesday from 6 to 8 p.m. and Wednesday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The school is at 302 West 91st St., between West End Avenue and Riverside Drive. More information is available at www.laescuelitanyc.org.
