Getting children to read is one of the primary goals of schools, community education organizations, and parent groups. One of the most popular ways of doing that is through a school-sponsored book fair. Putting books into our students’ hands is the primary motivation for our book fairs. Timber Ridge believes that book fairs are a great way to promote literacy, introduce students and their families to books they may not otherwise encounter, and raise money for the school library. We want to:
Promote literacy
Instill a love of reading that lasts a lifetime
Enrich classroom and library book collections
Strengthen school and home connections
Spark a fascination with books and an interest in reading
Create strong, independent readers
Provide families an opportunity to select and read books together (special grandparent and parent events)
Encourage a free-reading habit among students
Raise funds for the school library in a manner consistent with our educational mission
Our book fairs take place in the school’s cafeteria, the school’s learning resource center, online, and even out at local bookstores like Barnes & Noble. Please come visit us during one of our fairs!
