This week was a big week! We had the Scholastic book fair. I love book fair week so much, and so do the kids! We run the book fair all week. Previous to starting the book fair I create a booking link through my Google Calendar (we are a Google Education Suite school) and teachers are able to easily sign up for a time slot that works best for them to bring their class in. This is a much more organized way of bringing classes in rather than just allowing students to shop whenever they want. I also reach out to the community via email and our social media page to ask for parent volunteers. I was able to have a parent volunteer each day of book fair week. They help the students shop, count their money, and just help manage all of the people in the library while I run the cash register. Our community is always willing to come help out with events at the school.
I did also still allow students to come in to return and check out books, so having extra hands in the library helped with that as well. I did not want to close down the library for book check out for an entire week.
This was a fun week, but very exhausting at the end of each day.
