Book Fairs

The PaperPie (formerly Usborne Books & More) “Reading Is A Gift” book fair program was developed to encourage reading and at the same time earn free books or cash for your school or organization. With the FREE book and/or cash incentives that are in place for each book fair, you can choose the option that best meets the needs of your school or organization. We have LOTS of different choices when doing a book fair!

What kind of events are available?

• Traditional Book Fair – Based on the size of your organization, I will bring an appropriate selection and quantity of books to sell on the spot to students and/or parents.

• Order Only – I can set up a single table with a variety of sample books for kids and parents to view, and then parents can submit orders via paper forms or online. This works particularly well for preschools that may not have a large area to use for displaying books to purchase.

• Online E-fair – Students and parents will be able order completely online. They will also be able to share the link with family and friends to help encourage more sales.

• $5 Book Day – Similar to a traditional book fair, but all the books I bring will be sold for exactly $5 (sales tax included). That way parents can send $5/10/20 bills with their kids to shop.

What will my organization earn? The choice is yours!

• FREE books – 25% to 50% of retail sales in free books (depending on the type of event)

• Money and books – provides the host school with cash and FREE books for the library

• Cash only – fund special projects, teacher resources or extras for your students.
