The Santoro’s Book Fair – Just Books

That’s right. No pencils, no stickers, no glitter – just good books. Invite us to host your next book fair and we’ll make the fair as easy and profitable as possible. Santoro’s will bring a wide assortment of fun and challenging books from a variety of publishers. We welcome your input and assistance, or you may choose to leave it all up to us. It’s a great way to raise money for your school.

 
Some fan mail:

I just wanted to express my appreciation for the book fairs you hold in elementary schools. My children attend Green Lake Elementary, which just had its fair. I wish we had had more time to spend browsing the fair, but my kids still came away with a great selection of books. Your fair has great titles to choose from for both children and adults alike. I look forward to it every year!
Thank you for your support of the education community in Seattle!

We strive to make our book fairs as fun and profitable as possible. If you’re currently using Scholastic, our goal is to replicate what you like about them, and eliminate what you don’t like. Here are the highlights of our book fair program, but keep in mind we are flexible and always open to new ideas.

• - We bring a wide assortment of quality titles from many publishers—not just one. Santoro’s tailors the selection to meet your specific interests. We can bring a selection of books for all ages, including books for adults. This increases the fund-raising potential of the book fair.
• - We will work with you on title selection. You are welcome to make specific requests.
• - We donate 25% of sales in trade for books or 15% of sales in cash.
• - We can arrange to have a bookseller at the fair to answer questions and assist with sales.
• - We issue Book Fair Vouchers that enable parents to make additional purchases in our store for up to 30 days after the book fair. Twenty percent (20%) of  in-store sales will benefit your school.
• - Teachers and librarians can apply the credit to ANY BOOK IN PRINT.
• - We handle all the accounting associated with the book fair.
• - You may opt to host your book fair in our bookstore. Just choose the date and 20% of all purchases will be donated to the school. Bring your own refreshments, or have us provide them – we are flexible!
