How It Works

How It Works
 
A Scholastic Book Fair is an event that brings students, teachers, families, and the community together in a school setting to celebrate reading. In addition to being a fantastic literacy event, a percentage of Book Fair proceeds goes right back to your school to help raise much-needed funds.

Try these proven activities to meet your unique fundraising goals:

Draw Crowds
Reach a bigger audience with multiple Family Events.
  Help Students Succeed
Build classroom libraries with the Classroom Wish List program
One for Books!
Donations of just $1 unite the community in building resources to improve reading skills. Plus, Scholastic Book Fairs pledges a match in book donations to three literacy programs.
One for Books
Set a Goal
Give everyone a goal to work toward so you can measure your Book Fair's success.
  Accept Credit Cards
Make more payment methods available to your customers.
 
A credit card sale averages more than three times the amount of a cash or check sale.
