Benefits of Hosting

Hosting a Fair is the best way to support your school’s reading efforts. Students, parents, and teachers love Book Fairs for a number of reasons, including:

  • A Book Fair connects kids to the books they want to read.
  • They feature a terrific assortment of books, hand-selected by book experts.
  • Book Fairs help build school, classroom, and home libraries.
  • They generate community involvement.
  • A Fair is one of the easiest ways to raise funds for the school.

Total Rewards
In addition to being a fantastic reading event, a percentage of Book Fair proceeds go right back to your school, to help achieve your fundraising goals. You can even customize your rewards by mixing and matching any combination of these Book Fair earning options:

Books
Shop for great new books right from your Book Fair before the Scholastic driver picks up your Fair. You can double the value of your earnings and get twice the value in books with this option.

Then, use your vouchers to shop for great products for your classrooms and libraries from the Instructional Resource Catalog, published exclusively for our Book Fair customers. You’ll find library-bound books, furniture, student incentives, and much more. With Instructional Resource Catalog vouchers, your earnings go twice as far.

Cash Profit
Receive cash rewards based on a percentage of your total Book Fair earnings. This is a great option for schools that are working toward the purchase of computers, playground equipment, field trips, or other goals.
