Letter to the Editor: Aldama Elementary Wants Your Used Books

This letter was submitted by Aldama PTA member Monica Alcaraz.

The Aldama Elementary PTA will be having a Used Book Fair on Thursday, May 24, and is asking the community to donate their used books. We are looking for both children and adult tittles, fiction and non-fiction, paperback and hardcover, and in English and Spanish.

The PTA will be accepting book donation starting May 1 and will collect books until May 17.  Book donations can be dropped off in the book drop box located in the lobby of the school's main office.  is located at 632 N. Ave. 50, Los Angeles, CA 90042.

The benefits of the Aldama Used Book Sale are three fold, it will provide affordable literature for readers of all ages, it will raise funds for our school and much need school supplies and it will help the environment by recycling these books and keeping them out of landfills.

The Used Book Sale will be held on Aldama Elementary's front lawn on Thursday, May 24 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.  For more information please contact Mary Hetherington at hello2exercise@gmail.com.
