[aisle] Literati book fairs

[Rebecca Morgan]

We are just wrapping up our Literati fair today. The fiction selection
wasn't as robust as we had hoped (not many new/popular titles) but the
nonfiction was more current than in past years. The biggest issue was the
lack of an online teacher wishlist function. Our PTO ended up using Google
Forms to collect wishlists which were clunky and not easily accessible to
parents. This resulted in fewer sales and teachers not getting books for
their classrooms. While nothing went catastrophically wrong, we are
considering looking elsewhere next year.
