The Follett Book Fair encourages your child's reading habits, builds their personal libraries, and raises funds for the school, all at the same time.

Your student will visit the Book Fair during both their Media Center and Computer Lab specials to create a wish list and make their purchases. Parents are also welcome to browse the Book Fair during regular and special event hours. Cash, checks, or credit cards are accepted, and remember TAX is now added to every student sale. Also, you (or other family members) can visit www.follettgift.com to purchase a Follett gift card for your student.

Don’t forget your teacher! Please stop by the teacher Wish List bins to purchase a book for their classroom library. It makes a great appreciation or holiday gift!
