Online Spring Book Fair
- Quality, ultra-readable books! Our partner for this online book fair is Junior Library Guild. JLG is an elite book-selection service that until now has only been available to librarians. Over 40,000 new books for children and young adults are published annually and JLG only selects the top 3% for its collection.
- Safe & cash-free shopping! With health concerns and social-distancing requirements, this online fair is the perfect way for families to build their at-home libraries from the safety of their homes.
- Direct-to-home delivery! Every purchase from our online book fair will be delivered straight to the shopper’s door. And any purchases from staff wish lists will be shipped directly to their classrooms.
- Affordable selections! Most books in our online fair will be hardcover, first-edition books with library-quality binding. Prices start as low as $5/book—and shipping is FREE for all orders over $30. Books your families purchase for you will come directly to the school to your attention with no shipping charge to them.
- Supports our school! Our library receives a percentage of every book fair purchase.
