[ISLMA-Share] book fairs

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

We have them come during their library hours (if they don't have money they
can fill out a wishlist). Then they can come first thing in the morning,
once they check in with their teacher to purchase. We also have
parent/grandparent night they can come to.  Usually 6-8.

Also, Friday classes are rescheduled Mon - Thursday. Friday morning is
staying open for last minute purchases, etc. Our PTO starts closing it up
around Noon, then we have the afternoon to put our library back together
for Monday classes the following week.
