River Bend Bookshop did my book fair last year and we're excited to have them back again in May. Fantastic to work with Meghan and all.

Thank you for this information! Our PTO takes care of our bookfair and already has Scholastic scheduled for November 8 & 9.  I would like to give them another option so we can drop Scholastic.

RiverBend Bookshop does great school book fairs as an indie (tell them I sent you!), and I just found out about Best Book Fairs at AASL, they serve all of New England!

Does your school run a successful book fair that does not use Scholastic?

If so, I would love to learn about it.

With Scholastic's decision to create an opt-in diversity collection, my sister would like to drop Scholastic from her district.

Thank you for your help!
