Not sure what to get your little sister for the holidays? Want to make sure you have a book to read that isn’t on a screen? Think Dad would like a new cookbook?

You’re in luck! Remember how exciting book fairs were in elementary school? Look no further for the COVID-friendly option in 2020. Local bookstore, Aaron’s Books in Lititz, is hosting a virtual book fair for EHS!

You can go to the store and show the flyer, print or on your phone (check @mountsmediacenter on Instagram, Schoology or see a library staff member) OR order online and use the code EHS20 when you check out. You can opt to pay a small fee to have it shipped to your house OR select free school delivery and your purchases will be delivered in school before Christmas break.

Be on the lookout for staff recommendations!

Happy reading!

In today's news, the UK makes its final preparations for a mass vaccination. The UK will begin a mass vaccination on Tuesday, beginning with the elderly and health workers. The UK was the first country to approve the use of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine. Hundreds of thousands of doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech coronavirus vaccine are being distributed to the hospitals in the UK. The hospitals in all four nations will serve as hubs, but Englands medical director warned that the process will be a "marathon not a sprint".
