Simply share you are purchasing for New Eagle’s Book Fair. (For those wishing to shop in-person, Children’s Book World is is located at 17 Haverford Station Road, Haverford, PA 19041)
What It Is
The Book Fair is an annual PTO fundraiser. We work with Children’s Book World to provide an array of books that appeal to all readers. All purchases are completely voluntary and proceeds from the Book Fair benefit the New Eagle PTO and its various functions in support of our school.
Volunteers are needed to make this fundraiser a success! We are looking for volunteers to set up, to ring purchases/ write gift certificates during class visits and assist with Fair take down. We have MANY short shifts available to fill and we need YOUR help! Please visit the Sign Up Sheets page for more information and to sign up to volunteer!
How It Works
This book fair is “cash and carry”. Each child will visit the Book Fair with his or her class. Book purchases can be made at that time or any other time when the Fair is open. If your child will be making purchases, please send enough money for any books plus 6% tax!
As in past years, we will also be selling gift certificates for our teachers at the Fair as well as posting virtual teacher wishlists. Purchasing gift certificates or buying from the teacher wish lists are nice ways to thank you to our teachers for the great job they are doing, and to help update and improve their classroom libraries. Class visit times will be communicated the week before the Fair.
Teacher wishlists will be posted soon – be sure to check back the week of the 18th!
Annual Spirit Day Challenge
Got some spare change at home? Please consider donating it to the All for Books program at the Fair through our Annual Spirit Day Challenge. The children will have the opportunity to vote for the theme of the November Spirit Day. Contributions will result in more books for our library and count towards our Book Fair profit.
