Library Book Fair 2020 Price List
When can students go?
All students visited the Book Fair with their class last Thursday. They perused the books and items for sale and created a Wish List.
The Book Fair will be open for purchasing at the following times on Monday morning through to Thursday morning during Week 9:
- Before school each day for all year levels at 8:15 – 8:45am
- Lower school on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at 11:15-11:40am
- Upper school on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at 12:50 – 1:10pm
- After school on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 3:00 - 3:30pm
Thursday morning before school will be the last time to purchase as the Book Fair will be packed up and collected at 1pm Thursday 10th September.
How can we buy books and other items for sale?
Students can purchase from the Book Fair using cash.
Parents can make a payment online at https://parentpayments.scholastic.com.au/BookFairs.
For online payments:
- Make your payment online. Note: this is a total payment of all items purchased.
- Write the receipt number on the back of the wish list and highlight the items purchased.
- Send the wish list with the receipt number to school with your child. They will collect their items from the book fair.
The school gets a commission from every purchase – we can’t wait to purchase more books for our library with these funds!

If you would like to kindly donate a book to the library you can:
- Select a book from the book fair for our library.
- Make your payment online.
- Send the receipt number back to school with your child highlighting it is a donation.

Raffle!
We will be running a raffle throughout the Book Fair. Every purchase made before 9am Thursday 10th September will receive an entry into the raffle. Book vouchers to spend at the Book Fair will be the prizes! The winners will be drawn on Thursday 10th September after the last sale at 9:00am.
Thank you to those parents who have already donated a book to the book fair. We appreciate it!
Top Borrower of the Week
Our top Borrower for Term 3 week 7 was Hugo S in 5H and for week 8 it is Frank Bragg in 5B!
Hugo and Frank are both big readers in the library and love to explore non-fiction and fiction books.
Well done and congratulations to Hugo and Frank for your huge enthusiasm for reading!
Borrowing for the holidays
This week is a good time to return all overdue books so in week 10 students can borrow new books for the holidays.
Parents, if you can have a good look at home in your book shelf for any library books and return them to the library, your child can enjoy borrowing more books next week for the holidays!
Happy Reading,
Mrs Lamb
