“I recently completed my first Bookroo Book Fair, and I'm a big fan! I've run numerous book fairs for schools and know how much time and energy they require, but Bookroo's fair was effortless to organize (less than 2 hours of my time). Plus both parents and students were delighted by the diverse book selection, which resulted in high participation levels. I'm excited to host another fair in the fall.”

Kimberly G, Kindergarten Parent

“Running a book fair was extremely easy and made for another opportunity to promote reading in my classes. The students loved creating their book registries, and the cashback rewards were an added bonus, allowing us to further invest in our classroom's educational resources.”
