Can my school run a Bookroo book fair?

Yes. A school runs a School Book Order: one order for the whole school, run by a PTO, librarian, principal or parent volunteer. Every class sends home a flyer, families order from their phones, and every book ships free to school. It's free, there's no minimum, and your school earns Book Cash on every order. You don't need a Bookroo Classroom account.

Running one for your own class? Send home a Book Order instead: a flyer for each student, with the books coming to your class.

Start a school book order

1. Go to bookroo.com/classrooms/book-fairs and click Start a school book order. Sign in or make a free account if asked.
2. Under Your school, fill in the School and when Orders close; under Where the books go, the school's address. Your flyers appear beside the form as you add classes.
3. Under Your classes, paste your classes one per line, like "Ms. Patel, 2nd grade". Each class gets its grade's flyer; pick a grade for any line that doesn't name one. If your school is on Bookroo Classroom and you're one of its admins, click the button that adds your school's classes, to bring in its classes and rosters.
4. Click Start the order. You land on the order's page, which is also a School Book Order card on your Bookroo dashboard.

Send the flyers home

• Print class flyers makes one sheet per class: The Bookroo Times for its grade, with the class's code on the coupon and a blank for the child's name. Each teacher copies their sheet and sends one home with every student.
• A Bookroo Classroom class can print Student flyers instead, one per student, each with that student's own code.
• Copy link for the newsletter gives one link for the whole school: families pick their child's class from it.

Families scan the class's code, or type it at bookroo.com/order, then type their child's first name and last initial once. There's no account and nothing to save. Forgot a class? Click Forgot a class? Add it on the order's page while orders are open.

Book Cash

Your school earns 10% of every order as Book Cash. When the school's orders reach 60 books together, it's 20% for every class. Once every book has shipped, it goes into your school's Book Wallet, shown on the order's page with its code: enter the code at checkout to spend it on books. Classes on Bookroo Classroom earn into their own class Book Wallets.

When the books come

The books ship free to your school about two weeks after orders close, sometimes in a few boxes that arrive around the same time. When they're on the way, print each class's Sorting sheets and Labels (Avery 5160, one name label per book) to hand the books out.

Book fairs started before October 2026 keep their dashboards, and families still join them with their 5-letter code at bookroo.com/order. Questions go to fairs@bookroo.com.
