Small Spaces

Real Fairs in Real Spaces

Small spaces have a cozy, neighborhood bookstore feel. Use every inch of available space to transform a room into your own lovely bookstore. The Book Fair pictured is a school library.


Step 1  
Step 1 • Clear as much space in the room as possible..
• Move any furniture that is portable to an area outside the Book Fair space.
Step 2  
Step 2 • Strategically place your bookcases back-to-back, rather than side-by- side, to save space.
• Use all existing furniture for book displays.
• The purple bookcase in the center of the picture is easily moved to the center of the room and merchandised.
Step 3  
Step 3
• Roll your portable bookcases into a "horse shoe" position around the back of your Book Fair.
• Group additional bookcases in the center of the room, back-to-back.
• Use the tables in the front of your Book Fair to feature high-end gift books like the picture books shown.
• Be sure to display all of the merchandise sent to your Book Fair.

Now that's a great looking Fair!
