Operation Appreciation: Treat Day & AISC Staff Appreciation Day
What would we do without the amazing AISC Staff?! Very little, I would guess. This time of year is special for Operation Appreciation. It happens just before Friday, 13 March's Staff Appreciation Day. March is all about Our Staff! Because of this, and so much more, this survey has 3 asks and should be completed no later than Wednesday, 26 February.
AISC Libraries Book Swap
The AISC Libraries want to celebrate Earth Week with the community by organizing a way to reuse your previously loved books! If you have any gently used books at home (in any language and/or genre) that you'd like to donate, please bring them to the ES/MS or HS Library. We will accept books for babies, toddlers, children, teens, and adults, as long as they are in good condition. For every two books that are donated, you will receive a ticket for one free book at the Book Swap! 

Please contact Barbara Bowman at bbarbara@aischennai.org if you have any questions.
