Pink Book Fair Save the Date image

Get ready! The Scholastic Book Fair is next week! 

Here’s what you need to know about the Fair, which will take place in our Clermont library:

Book Fair dates: Monday, November 28 - Friday, December 2

Shopping hours for families: Tuesday, November 29 from 4:00 - 7:30 pm

Students shop with their class (your child’s teacher can you know their buying day): Wednesday, November 30 - Friday, December 2.

Please note: we are required to charge sales tax this year on all purchases from our book fair.

This year, say goodbye to cash and hello to eWallet - your child’s digital payment account. Before the Fair, set up eWallet for worry-free, cash-free purchases. Anyone can contribute! Share each child’s eWallet so friends and family can add funds and give your kids more books to enjoy.

If you can’t make it to the Fair, then shop at our school’s Online Book Fair. All orders ship directly to your home, and shipping is free for book orders over $25. Your online orders will also benefit our school. Our Online Fair is available from November 22 to December 2.

Visit our Book Fair homepage to learn more and get started with eWallet and online shopping: http://www.scholastic.com/bf/clermontes
