[ISLMA-Share] book fairs

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Our spring book fair is one week long and covers 36 classes or just over
700 students at 2 locations. It's run by me and parent volunteers but I
always have to be at the open fair. The other school is closed when I'm not
there.

All classes come Monday through Thursday at their normal time or, if their
normal time is on Friday I slide them to an earlier day in the week at the
same time. I supply pencils and paper if anyone needs to make a wish list.
Friday is strictly make ups - the morning at the elementary school and
lunch periods/afternoon at the middle school. Students are only allowed on
Friday if they have money in hand. If there is a lull early in the week
I'll grab a student or two just to make Friday a little better. It's crazy
but gets everyone in.
