The Scholastic Book Fair is coming soon!
Dates: October 12-October 15
Location: WRES Library Media Center

This is a great opportunity to build your child’s home library with new books that will get them excited about reading, while also earning funds for our library programs.

The easiest way to let your child shop the Fair independently is by creating a Book Fair eWallet through our school homepage. It’s easy to set up and easy for family and friends to add funds.

With eWallet, you’ll also have the chance to contribute to Share the Fair™—the giving program that supports students at our school who need help buying books. Consider participating so that no child leaves the Fair empty-handed!

Preview the books coming to the Fair by taking a 360° virtual tour via our school’s Book Fair homepage and explore the titles, watch video book trailers, and more.

We can’t wait to see you at the Fair!
