Welcome to your role as a host of an Ignatius Book Fair! You're on the path to delivering an exceptional experience to the children in your school, offering them a treasure trove of quality, curated books that also nurture their faith. This guide presents sixteen comprehensive steps you follow in creating a successful book fair!
Having chosen Ignatius as your partner, you've completed the crucial first step. The journey ahead involves detailed planning, from envisioning the fair's ambiance to rallying a dynamic team of volunteers, all while leveraging a rich array of resources provided for your benefit. These steps are designed not just for organizational ease but also to ensure a vibrant, engaging fair that leaves a lasting impression on your community.
Let's navigate this path together. By embracing our structured approach, your book fair is poised to be a memorable event, enriching the minds and hearts of all attendees.
Ignatius Book Fairs now offers an online book fair - called a “Book Fair in a Box.” These are ideal for smaller schools and parishes without a school. This event requires much less volunteers’ time and effort to organize. This option is available to larger schools too if they don’t want to host a full onsite book fair.
Refer to our Book Fair in a Box Operational Guide pdf for all the details.
When you host a book fair, you earn Ave Dollars as a reward. These dollars are virtual “money” that can be spent at the end of your book fair or on our website, so you can buy more books for your classrooms,
parish, or library.
