His narrative, The Big Trip, will be published in a book that can be purchased at the bookstore. A copy of the book will be available to check out at the BCE library! Bryce will receive a gift certificate, have his photo in the Sentinel, and will read his story on KZSC radio on Tuesday, December 1st during a live broadcast from 7-8pm.

Our book fairs are the only source of funding available to our library and all profits go to purchase new books and library equipment for BCE students. When you're visiting campus for your student's conference, consider stopping by for a look and perhaps even some holiday shopping!
