Book Fair 2025
Book Fair 2025
Who?
FWES PTA is working with Literati for the first time in 2025.
What?
Book fairs bring the books kids want to read right into our school and help get students excited about reading! It also provides funds and new books for our library and classrooms. We will have a fantastic selection of books for all ages and grade levels. Every class visits the book fair twice: first to view and make a wish list, then again later in the week to purchase books.
PTA also runs a program called Bear Paws, allowing teachers to identify students in need of reading materials at home. These students get to purchase a book of their choice, paid for by the PTA.
Why?
Our goal for the book fair is to foster a love of reading, while giving back to FWES. 25% of all sales go directly to the Inquiry Center, for Ms. Zaccardi to use as needed. She is updating the collection and keeping books that our students want to read on the shelves.

Literati Gift Cards
Literati Gift Cards
Gift cards are a safe payment method for students to use at the book fair. Gift cards can be looked up, and used as a way for payments.
They also make great individual gifts and general donations, so students, teachers, and librarians can add new favorite books to their shelves!
