[ISLMA-Share] Tabletop book fair

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I believe it is based on sales. A few of the schools in my district are still getting the carts. I think if you sell over $2500 you can keep getting the cart fair.

I'm curious if you all are experiencing this because of your sales volume.  I was told 2 years ago that I had to go to "box" fairs.  I had several problems with that including the fact that they WOULD NOT send me the more mature titles I wanted (the ones that sold well).  I talked them into letting me keep the cart fairs.  Are they getting rid of cart fairs completely?  I don't have space OR tables to do a box fair.  Opening those carts and selling was so simple.  Not sure what I'll do now.

We just set up a tabletop this afternoon. It looks good but were unable to use many of the table top displays as we have mostly free-standing table and I am afraid of the displays getting knocked over. My big disappointment is no cash register. It's like going back to the 1980s. Very time-consumming.

So this year is the first year that I will be having the tabletop book fair by Scholastic. Has anyone had one yet? I have had the "big-case" book fairs for the past 3 years and loved them. Now Scholastic throws this at me and says that there won't be cases or a cash register. I am a bit afraid of the unknown when it comes to this.

Any pointers? Any advice?
