[aisle] Scholastic book fair options

[Michelle Simpson]

We are holding a Literati Book Fair right now. They are not run by Follett
but you can get rewards as a Titlewave gift card. I have been very pleased
so far. I have shared pictures of the books with prices on our library's FB
page (Richland County Elementary School Library) if you are interested.
