Subject: [EXTERNAL]Re: [CASL-L] Book Fair Ideas-Not Scholastic

I’m glad to see they reverse their decision. As a parent and a librarian it was hard not to want to support the already booked fairs at my schools and yet also support those authors. I hope their “pivot” is a true improvement and not just buzz words.

Thank you, Leslie! I don’t know who or what finally changed their minds, but I’m glad they did. How they could even think that their segregated collection was a good thing to do is beyond me.

Just an FYI-as a result of a petition and as a result of a petition and feedback from many people feedback from librarians and authors,  Scholastic has changed its policy. See letter below.

Thank you, Everyone, for your book sale recommendations.

A librarian by the name of Josh Ryan sent me a curated list of book vendors along with pros and cons about each one. It's pretty fabulous!

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!
