About the Fair
​
It’s that time of year again… BOOK FAIR!​
​
Throughout the week students will visit and shop the fair with their class.* Wednesday and Thursday we invite you to join us and shop the fair as a family from 4-6:30pm.
​
The Book Fair is a fantastic way to support the PTO as well as the Baker-Butler Elementary School Library. With proceeds from the fair, Ms. Harmon, our wonderful librarian, is able to continually expand the library's selection. ​
​
New this year:
Teachers are actively creating wishlists for their classrooms. Check back HERE frequently to see updated wishlists from your teachers and purchase a gift card to help your teacher make those wishlist purchases.
​
As always, the BBES Book Fair would not be possible without all of our many wonderful volunteers! If you are interested in volunteering please click HERE to sign up for a time slot. As a special thank you, all volunteers will receive 20% off their purchases!
​
*If students do not have a gift card or money on their class shopping day teachers will allow them to visit later in the week at a time that does not disrupt instruction.
**Book Fair material has not been previewed or vetted by ACPS. Please look at the Literati website for details on each title.**​​
Help Others Shop​
​
Please consider making a donation to help other students at Baker-Butler purchase books. Any additional funds at the end of the fair will be used for classroom libraries.
​
To donate to the school gift card:
Follow the steps to set up a Literati Gift Card and select "For a school or educator". Baker-Butler Elementary School will automatically be selected, click continue and follow the instructions to complete checkout.
