[CASL-L] Success with book fairs other than Scholastic?

[Burdacki, Sarah]

Hello,

I appreciate this thread because I, too, have been frustrated by Scholastic
for a few years and am considering changing course.

I'm wondering how digital sales went for Riverbend Fairs. Scholastic
provides EWallets, which I generally like. Does Riverbend offer an
equivalent service and if so, how did that aspect of the fair go?

Thanks,

Sarah
