[ISLMA-Share] Tabletop book fair

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I just emailed them and asked because we have a book fair scheduled for
November. This is the response I got from my Scholastic Rep:



Please be assured that Scholastic Book Fairs still sends rolling cases and
Easy Scan cash register systems on all book fairs run through our case
division! It seems that some misinformation has gotten on the grapevine. We
do have another book fair division that sends smaller book fairs that are
displayed on tabletops to customers with average fair revenues below a
threshold. This does not affect John F. Kennedy School at this time.
