Book Fairs

BOOKS INC. BOOK FAIRS!

Book fairs are a fun and profitable way to raise money for your PTA, Friends of the Library or other school programs. We bring the books directly to you and set up a mini-store, complete with the very best new books for both young readers and adults. A percentage of all sales go to benefit the school, so this is a great time to buy those holiday gifts for the whole family!

 

We'll coordinate with your school librarian, teachers, and parent volunteers to tailor the fair's inventory specifically for your school's needs. We provide a cash register(s), credit card machine(s) and computerized inventory, as well as handling all accounting for the event. We even help arrange parent volunteers, to make set-up and breakdown of the fair a snap.

Our children's book experts can create lists of favorites by classroom, or do special "book talks" to individual classes or to parent groups. We can also help arrange for local authors or illustrators to visit the school either before or during the fair to help boost book sales. Your book fair is also a great time for parents to donate books to the library or classrooms, so we encourage teachers & librarians to create wish lists.

Book sales tend to increase when parents are aware that a locally owned, Independent bookseller is providing books for your book fair, rather than a huge corporation. Shop local!

 


Does putting on a book fair at your school seem like too much work? Do your think there just isn't the space at your school to stage such an event? All of our Books Inc. locations host in-store fundraising shopping nights. Basically from 6-9 pm on a designated evening you bring the party to the store and 20% of everything purchased will be donated to the school. Yes it really is that easy!
