Everglow Forest Book Fair - FAQs

• Why does Happy Valley host a book fair? Our annual Book Fair brings the Happy Valley
  community together while raising funds to purchase new books for the library and classrooms at
  Happy Valley.
• How can my child buy books independently at the book fair? Students (1st–5th grade) can
  shop during class visits, lunch, or after school starting Nov. 7. We recommend buying a gift card
  before then for easy checkout. The Book Fair is cashless! Other forms of electronic payment
  options are also accepted when you are shopping with them.
• Should I buy a gift card for my TK/Kindergarten student? Not necessary—their classes are
  not shopping independently during school hours. Our TK and K friends are encouraged to shop
  with an adult during Kindergarten and TK shopping hours. See schedule on the front.
• Does my child need to bring a print out of the gift card to the book fair? Printing your child’s
  gift card is optional. Cashiers can access balances electronically.
• What happens to any remaining balance on my child’s gift card? Gift card balances less than
  $5 at the end of the book fair will be considered a donation and will be used to purchase
  additional books for classrooms and the library. We encourage you to use up the balance or small
  balances will be donated.
• What if my child does not have a gift card during their class shopping period? They can
  browse and make a wish list to shop later—at Family Night or online.
• How can I get another copy of the bookmark template? You can print one (linked here) or pick
  up an extra copy in the library.
• How can I buy a book for my child’s teacher or other Happy Valley staff? Teachers and staff
  love receiving books! You can support them by purchasing a gift card so they can pick out books
  for their classrooms.
• Which grades participate in the bookmark contest? K - 5 grade students are all invited to
  submit a bookmark in the contest, although participation is optional. TK isn’t officially participating
  in the contest, but are still welcome to submit one for display.
• Is there a larger selection than what’s available in the physical book fair? Yes! You can shop
  a broader selection online through the Literati Book Fair store. Simply make sure to select Happy
  Valley when prompted so your purchase benefits our school.
• Can I still support the school and buy books if I can’t make it to the book fair? Absolutely!
  All online purchases at the Literati Book Fair will benefit Happy Valley. You can also buy gift cards
  for teachers or make a general donation to help fund new classroom books.
