I interviewed Mrs. Johnson, the library teacher, and she sat down and answered some questions for me about the Book Fair. Here are the questions she answered.

  2. I am an avid reader! I look forward to the book fair to purchase at least one new children's book and one new adult book. The problem is, there are so many good books to choose from which means there are decisions to make. Thank you, Mrs. Johnson, for running the book fair and for keeping us interested in reading.
