A school bookfair can be a great way to earn much-needed funds for educational programs. A school bookfair can also help your students and families create home libraries of books that they will enjoy. It is also a terrific way to build your classroom or school libraries.

There are many benefits to hosting a school bookfair. Most importantly, it encourages children to read books that they will enjoy for fun and pleasure and the joy of learning. A bookfair can also be a wonderful opportunity to develop a larger library of books for your school or classroom library through encouraging classroom or school donations.

A school bookfair generates community participation and interest on many levels, as children of all ages will show interest in reading. Finally, a school bookfair is a great way to raise funds for its school while also encouraging learning in a fun and interesting way.

The Scholastic company helps elementary and middle schools host bookfairs. If you host a Scholastic bookfair your school can earn cash, books, reward bonuses or Instructional Resource Catalog Profits (vouchers to select educational tools or books).

Scholastic Bookfair offers instructional guides to show you step by step how to manage your school bookfair. These guides cover every topic you can think of, and all that you need is at your fingertips. The guides help you to save time and they show you what other schools have done to be successful. There is a guide for Families, for the Principal, for the Librarian and for Teachers. Each guide offers specific and valuable resources that will help these families, professionals and educators make the most of the bookfair for their school.

Your school bookfair can also include other activities and school fundraisers to make the day more fun.  No matter what options you choose, you will certainly benefit your school in every way simply by holding the bookfair.
