Benefits of Hosting a Book FairBenefits of Hosting a Book Fair

Book fairs give children a motivation to read by offering them a wide selection of books to choose from that they can look at before they decide to buy.

Our book fairs give them an even bigger selection because we get quality literature from many different publishers.

They help raise money for the library and reading programs. This can greatly help if you, like many schools, have experienced a budget cut in your school library.

Benefits of Hosting a Book FairBenefits of Hosting a Book FairThey give parents and kids an opportunity

to pick out and read books together. This increases the likelihood that they will want to continue reading.

They give you the chance to instill a love of reading that lasts a lifetime.

They give teachers a chance to see and buy books they might want for their classroom. We offer these teachers and students discounts during the book fair as well as after.
