The Findlay-Hancock County Public Library Bookmobile will be at Van Buren on Monday, November 22, from 11:30 A.M. - 12:30 P.M. Middle and high school students can visit the bookmobile during their lunch periods, so if students have a FHCPL card, please be sure they have their cards November 22 so they can check out books. Students can also place holds on books using the FHCPL website (www.findlaylibrary.org) and pick those up on the bookmobile as long as they identify the bookmobile as the pick-up location (they still need to have their library cards with them). Students who don't have library cards can visit the library in Findlay (206 Broadway St.) to register for a card. Parents must be present with their children and have two forms of identification (one must be a photo ID). The bookmobile will also be making a stop at the school from 11:30 A.M. - 12:30 P.M. on December 6.

We will be accepting coat donations immediately at VBES...please send donations in with students and we will have a box for any coats! Thanks for your assistance and have a great weekend! #BeABlackKnight
