Final Day of the Ballou Book Fair

Thanks for helping! We are winding down today, May 1st. Please shop the wish list through midnight PST.

Welcome folks interested in helping Ballou SR High School in Washington DC build their library. You can access the Guys Lit Wire Book Fair for Ballou at Powells Books. Once you make your selections you will need to input the mailing address:
