How the book fair works - All week the library will be converted into a pop-up book store. All classes will have the opportunity to browse, create a wish list, and make purchases during their regular library time. Students who want to make a purchase need to bring cash or have an e-wallet account (details below). 

Additional student shopping times: 
  • Before school, due to space may be limitations, students must have money in hand or an e-wallet to shop before school
  • After school with permission or with an adult
  • With a library pass from a teacher 

Family & Community shopping times: 
  • Tuesday or Wednesday evening 6 pm - 7:30 pm
  • Immediately after school M-Th
  • During the school day after checking in at the office

If we have crowd limits in place, there may be a wait.

MORE DETAILS

CAN WE BUY A BOOK FOR A TEACHER?
Yes! Most teachers have wish lists for their classrooms (check the boxes along the outer wall, or ask a fair volunteer).
IS THERE SALES TAX?
​Yes, state law requires us to charge sales tax, which is now 10.1%. Students may need some help calculating the final cost of the books they would like to buy.
WHAT IS E-WALLET?
​It is a cashless system. You can set up an account for your child to use at the fair (we can look it up from our register). Friends or family can contribute to it too. Please note that any unused funds at the end of the fair become a Scholastic gift card balance.

HOW DO I SHOP ONLINE?
​Our online fair runs from March 10 - 23. All orders ship home (free shipping on book-only orders over $25).
WHERE DO THE BOOK FAIR PROFITS GO?
All cash profit goes directly to the Sunrise library for the benefit of all students. We also use our Scholastic rewards profits to provide books for the library and for teachers’ classroom libraries, and for Sunrise kids in need
WE NEED HELPERS!!!

​Can you give an hour or two to help make this event a success?

There are many ways to help including setup the Friday before and tear down at the end of the week. A minimum of two volunteers are need for EACH SHIFT to keep the fair open - three or four are even better as things can get busy!

All daytime volunteers must be approved through the VIPS system
INCENTIVE PROGRAM
As a thank you for your help, each volunteer will receive $5 in Scholastic Dollars to spend at the Fair for each shift served. You may sign up for as many shifts as you'd like.
