Pencils needed at zv078
by Julie Censke - Colon Township Library 20 Jun '17

20 Jun '17

Hi All, We are doing a STEAM activity (building catapult's) for the Summer Reading Program. We could use about 100-200 extra unsharpened pencils. I'm sure there must be a library out there with cheapy pencils they may not use. If you have some to spare, could you send them my way? Thanks!
