[aisle] Scholastic book fair options

[Weinberger, Colleen]

I use Literati Book Fairs.  They bought all of Follett's Book Fair rolling
carts and materials.  It is a very easy setup and that is one of the
reasons I love it.  I have 3 elementary school libraries to run.  So it is
the only company I use when I have 3 simultaneous fairs twice a year!
