BEDFORD LIBRARY
Students, Staff, Teachers: Are you short on cash this holiday season? Do you need a last minute gift or stocking stuffers? Or add to your own “To Be Read” pile? The Friends of the Bedford Library Bookstore has gently used books, DVDs, and CDs for all ages. All for the cost of a small donation. Teachers, at this time, the store has a surplus of youth books, including classics, suitable for elementary students through teens. Restock those classroom libraries!
The bookstore is located just outside the children’s area and is open the hours the library is open. 9-8 Monday-Thursday, 9-5 on Saturdays, Noon – 5 on Sundays. Closed December 23-26, December 30-January 2nd.
All proceeds from the store directly support the library. Get those stocking stuffers and support a great cause!

✔ CLUBS
COMMOM INTEREST CLUB
C.I.C. is for anyone interested in making new friend based on common interests. Come hangout & talk with friends. Tuesdays from 2:30 PM – 3:30 PM in room #134 starting November 29th.
RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS CLUB
Random Acts of Kindness has started in Room #25. Consider joining us if you have some creative and fun ideas on how to spread some kindness around our school and community! “RAK” Club will meet every other Wednesday until 3:30PM, so be sure you have a ride home. See flyers around the school for dates and email or see Ms. O’Neill in the counseling office if you have any questions.
GAME CLUB
Think about the most awesome thing that you have ever done! Now imagine yourself at Game Club, and I am sure that those two events were very similar. Game Club kicks off this week in the media center. You can come by yourself and meet new people or you can bring a friend as well! It is a relaxed environment to make new friends and try out some new games and have fun with the classics too, there are so many options to choose from. A slight correction to the flier game club this week will not be on Thursday, like the posters say, as that is the back to school dance. Instead we will be meeting on Wednesday from 2:30-4. I can’t wait to see you there.
