Can a High School Have a Book Fair?! Let’s Find Out!

I have always wanted to do a high school book fair, but most companies don't have one. Scholastic pieced one together for me... let's do an experiment and see how it goes! Can we actually make a profit for our library? Will it be worth the trouble? Will I ever do it again? Let's find out!
I'm a high school library media specialist at a school of 1,300 students. Follow my library journey and learn about what I'm reading each month!

Any donations will probably truly buy me a coffee... I rarely treat myself to Starbucks, but with a three-year-old wild child at home, a full-time job, trying to grow my UA-cam channel, and training for my first half marathon, I need all the coffee lol.

After hours of searching, I finally found a video of a book fair with FNaF books.

MY HIGH SCHOOL HAD A BOOK FAIR IN MY FINAL YEAR THERE

[@TheBookishMom]

I wish that jobs wold have book fairs like schools do! lol That would be some good incentive to work hard and get to go to the book fair on lunch break!

[@codyclaeys2008]

My high school you ordered them from the catalog instead of going to the book fair like I did in middle school

Love that y’all did a book fair! Do you have a video about becoming a school librarian? I’m graduating this spring with a BA in English. One county close to me requires a MS in library science to become a librarian in the school and another county only requires a BA.

So many people have asked how I became a school librarian, so I finally made a video about it! Hopefully, someone out there will find this useful. :)

Thank you so much!

You could buy some of the clothing in the catalogs or larger products for "Raffles", use that cash to buy HS books from your normal vendor 👍🏼

[@manuscriptsmusickandmore7901]

Thanks for the idea! I actually did wind up buying some shirts and other "gift" type products from the Scholastic dollars catalog. I'm using them for contest prizes and for staff members who help out with library projects. :)

I know I'm only in elementary So can I still watch your videos???

[@ReadingSesh]

You should include the link to purchase from your Bookfair 👍🏼

[@manuscriptsmusickandmore7901]

That's a great idea! I'll definitely do that at my next fair!

[@br_nda]

pls make a video on how you became a high school librarian!! :)

[@manuscriptsmusickandmore7901]

This was such as great idea! I've had so many people comment on my videos asking how I became a librarian and what degrees I had to get. Your comment motivated me to actually make a video about it! Here you go:

How exciting! Did you have a good time and buy some good books?

[@TheTVHSLibrary]

Hi! We’re hosting our first Scholastic high school book fair later this semester. So I can get a frame of reference for setting our sales goal, how many students do you have at your school?

[@manuscriptsmusickandmore7901]

We have 1,200 students. :)
