Spring bookfair has sprung from our campus

The arrival of the Scholastic truck signals the end of the Spring book fair. The remnants of the book fair were collected on Wednesday, April 3.
We have reported sales totaling 4077.11$ ; approximately 20 boxes of books sold. This resulted in 1168.34$ to benefit our library, as well as 517.33$ in Scholastic dollars. One cannot help but wonder the impact of ebooks and the proliferation of iPads on campus on our book sale figures.

A huge thank you to our many parent volunteers who make so many wonderful things happen on campus. See you on December 5/13, 2013 for our next Holiday Bookfair.

Spring Bookfair 2012 : thank you to all

To all of my Saint Stephen’s friends and family, a huge thank you for your support of our Campus Center Library. Our recent Spring Bookfair (March 23rd-30th, 2012) was busy event, drawing students and parents in to browse and purchase.

A total of 6697.78$ in sales were  realized ( up 500$ from Spring 2011) . This translates into 1572.25$ in cash back to our school, as well as 993$ in book vouchers ( allowing us to purchase new books from Scholastic to add to our library shelves). Many, many thank yous to all, in particular our wonderful parent volunteers who are the soul of our library.

On a side note, parents were also able to place an order for summer reading books ( PK-gr 7). The deadline was Wednesday April 18th @ 9am. A total of 131 books were ordered, amounting to 556.21$ . 10% of this will come back to the school. Books ordered will be delivered to classrooms by mid May . This convenience for parents allows them to have the books in place as they plan for their summer travels. Reminder: read your books twice. Once at the beginning, once at the end of the summer. Be prepared to take an AR test or other activity relating to your books the first week of school.

Holiday Book Fair

The Holiday Book Fair will be offering a preview on Nov 30th, 2007. The actual sale will occur the week of Dec 3rd to 7th, 2007.

I can remember when the book fair arrived at my school when I was a child. It was always exciting to see the truck with Clifford the Big Red Dog on the side  as it backed to our school’s main entrance. Our school had a long, long, long driveway. Many of the children would watch from the playground fence to see if the truck would back up straight or take a wibbly wobbly path up to the front doors. Since I attended a school which did not have a library, our book fair was held in the hallway by the main office. I can remember my indecision…which novels should I buy? I would scour the flyer to plot out how I would spend my allowance and which selections would give me the most value.

Do you wait in anticipation for the book fair? Do you have a special memory of past Saint Stephen’s book fairs? What was your favorite purchase?
