A Scholastic Book Fair is a special event that enables parents and children to purchase quality books at reasonable prices, helping their school raise funds for special projects, classroom materials, and library books. Fairs are conducted at preschool, elementary, and middle schools, under the direction of the librarian, media specialist, or PTA/PTO chairperson.

The Book Fair comes complete in easy-to-move bookcases organized by reading level. There are seasonal and timely table assortments, table signs, displays, table covers, and a planning kit box full of promotional materials.

Why host a Book Fair?
The primary motivation for schools to have Book Fairs is to make quality books available to their students and stimulate interest in reading. It's also an incredible way to raise funds to purchase books, supplies, and equipment. Scholastic Book Fairs offers generous reward programs like our Instructional Resources Profit Option, which allows schools to exchange profit for double the dollar amount in books or other products. Learn more about the variety of profit options.

What does it cost?
There is no out-of-pocket expense to conduct a Scholastic Book Fair. Your Fair is delivered free to your school by our Drivers, and picked up again when it's over. You'll complete a financial form at the end of your Fair and return it to Scholastic.
It's that simple!
