[ISLMA-Share] Book Fair

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

We ran into the same issue - they told us it was because our junior/senior
high fair made less than $2000 last year.  We knew the reasons it was small
last year, and knew it would be bigger this year, but we had no chance to
redeem ourselves.  Since our plan was to move the fair out near to
parent/teacher conferences this year, and a tabletop fair would impede our
ability to do that, and to have the fair in our library without closing it,
we had to cancel.
