Book Fairs

Being affiliated with a full service independent book store has its advantages!!


Pre-fair Suggestions for you:


  • Reserve the dates for your book fair.
  • Visit the Trappe Book Center to review books and select titles or choose from our list of predetermined selections.
  • Ask students and teachers to recommend a “wish list” of titles and series for your fair.
  • Schedule preview days for the students and the teachers.
  • Conduct a poster contest to advertise your book fair.  (We award $25 gift certificates: one to the teacher and one to the student selected as winners.)
  • Set up “wish lists” for teachers.
  • Prepare an order form and provide it four weeks before the fair.  (We can help if applicable.)
  • Coordinate your book fair with other events at your school.
