In fact, when I talked to my rep this year, I'm now qualified for a larger fair, which means I will get more cases.</div><div><br></div><div>However, I recognize that Scholastic also has limitations and I'm open to suggestions for other book fairs that will offer a wider range of titles for more grade levels. In order to get more middle school titles, I had to send an email agreeing to accept "mature" titles, which makes me hesitate a bit, though my rep assured me that "mature" doesn't mean that it's inappropriate for middle school. Regardless, I'm going to have to check the titles to make sure that they are appropriate for my grade levels.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>Anna Kim</div><div>School Librarian</div><div>Chappell Elementary School</div><div><a href="mailto:akim6@cps.edu" target="_blank">akim6@cps.edu</a></div><div><br></div>"Dream no small dreams for they have no power to move the hearts of men."<div><br></div><div> -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe<br><br>Follow me on <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/3232421-anna-kim" target="_blank">Goodreads</a>!<br><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Tue, Oct 9, 2018 at 12:29 PM Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">I usually use Scholastic dollars that I have earned from one fair at the next fair that I hold.
