Scholastic Book Fair

My book fair starts Tuesday!!

I got it all set up today at school and so totally should have taken a picture. It is gorgeous. I'll take one Tues. am before the kids come in and wreck it.

There's been a lot of discussion in my school district about whose job it is to run the book fair. Some of the older and lazier librarians refuse to put on the fair since it is not in their job description. It requires extra time, lost of heavy lifting and usually the closing of the library for a week.

I'm totally cool with it and you want to know why? Because it freaking makes the kids happy.

Scholastic also gives us half the profit in new Scholastic books. Who could say no to that? Definitely not me.

The most exciting part of the book fair is that the new Diary of a Wimpy Kid - The Third Wheel comes out on Tuesday. Easiest way to start a riot in an elementary school library is to start displaying the new Wimpy Kid book. My trusty UPS man will deliver boxes full of the new book first thing Tues. am.

Do you have goosebumps? I do.
