The post Meet our Literati Partners! appeared first on Literati.

With their membership, young readers will receive five books every month tailored to their age, interests, and reading level. In total, Literati will have donated over 1,200 books through this reading program.

Getting Books Back In the Classroom

The campaign continues with an all-new initiative in Book Clubs for Classrooms: a membership for educators who are building their own classroom libraries. Teachers will receive five books delivered monthly based on their class’s grade and interests. 

This book club intends to provide classrooms with a variety of stories that will pique students’ interests and encourage better reading habits. Previously, Literati members have reported a 75% increase in their kid’s interest in reading and a 39 minute average increase in daily reading time. By extending their book club offering to schools, Literati Book Clubs will be able to reach even more young readers.

The “Year of Reading” initiative is driven by the Literati purpose: to inspire a love of learning and a love of life by getting more beloved books into the hands of kids.

Addressing Literacy Challenges

Research consistently demonstrates that reading at home is one of the strongest predictors of academic achievement. Despite this knowledge, access to quality reading materials remains a challenge for many families across the country. 

Literati’s philanthropic initiative addresses this need by providing 21 randomly selected households a curated selection of books to help build their home library all year round.

Jess Ewing, CEO of Literati, has noted that “Literacy is on a scary trajectory in this country. But together, we can do something about this by putting more books in the hands of students, improving reading scores, and creating a better future for our kids.”

Working Alongside Our Educational Partners

As reading advocates, Literati is always finding new ways to engage the community.  This season’s initiative began at schools that hosted a Literati Book Fair this spring. 

Participating schools received promotional materials, including bookmarks, inviting families to enter the raffle. Schools displayed the materials in high-traffic areas to maximize community participation. In total, more than 34,000 families participated in Literati’s weekly raffle this season.

The selection process involved weekly drawings from January through June 13, 2025, with winners receiving direct email notifications and recognition on the Literati Book Fair Customer Facebook page. In an additional effort to increase access to quality literature, all raffle participants, regardless of winner status, received a special introductory offer for their first month of Literati Book Club membership. 

Literati’s initiative represents a significant investment in education, placing hundreds of books in homes that might otherwise have limited access to diverse reading materials. 

Literati has long worked with nonprofits across the country, such as Eat. Learn. Play., the Andy Roddick Foundation, and BookSpring to help put books into the hands of kids who need them most. 

Additionally, book club members can participate in Literati’s donation program by sending gently used books back to the company using their Literati box and the provided return shipping label. To date, Literati has donated over one million children’s books—and counting.

If your book fair has started to feel more like a retail chore than a reading celebration, you’re not alone. Many schools are rethinking their current partner—and discovering Literati Book Fairs as a refreshing alternative. Here are 12 reasons why schools across the country are making the switch:

1. Support You Can Count On

You’re not in this alone. From planning to wrap-up, you’ll have a dedicated account manager who understands your school and is invested in your fair’s success. We don’t just ship you a fair—we stick with you every step of the way.

As a first year media specialist, Literati made my first book fair go very smoothly! Things were very user-friendly, and I really appreciate that! My account manager was amazing at guiding me and answering all my questions! I love Literati!

– Kylie W., Bonaire, GA

2. OpenBook Planning Platform

Our easy-to-use online resource center, OpenBook, puts everything at your fingertips. From checklists and scheduling tools to digital assets and support resources, OpenBook helps you stay organized and ahead of the game.

3. Built-In Marketing Tools

We make it simple to build excitement. You’ll receive a Marketing Must-Haves Kit with posters, flyers, and bookmarks, plus access to digital tools like social media graphics, videos, and parent letters. Just customize, print, and share!

4. Quick & Easy Set-Up

Your time is valuable, and running a book fair shouldn’t require a logistics degree. Literati fairs take just 45 minutes to set up with two volunteers. Our rolling cases arrive stocked and organized, and intuitive displays and modern registers make hosting a breeze.

Refreshing! Great selection of books and set up was easy compared to previous book fairs.

– Patricia V., Plant City, FL

5. Books Students Can’t Put Down

Our fairs feature the titles students know and love—Bluey, The Food Group, Dork Diaries, Minecraft, and more. We also curate surprises that ignite curiosity and reflect diverse voices, so every reader can see themselves in the stories they find.

Every Literati fair includes an online shop that opens four weeks before your in-person fair. Families can browse an expanded catalog of books like I Survived, Dog Man, The Bad Guys, and more, plus STEM kits and learning games—perfect for early birds, distant relatives, or those who can’t attend in person.

6. Literati-Only Exclusives

Every season, our team works with publishers to bring exclusive books only available at Literati Book Fairs. These hidden gems often become student favorites—and give your fair that “you had to be there” feeling that keeps families coming back.

7. Less Trinkets, More Literacy

When toy tables outshine the books, it’s time for a change. Literati Book Fairs are intentionally book-centered, with a Reading and Writing Center that supports your literacy mission. Think bookmarks, journals, and meaningful reading incentives instead of clutter and dollar-store distractions.

The selection of books was wonderful and the kids loved the school supplies. Great experience and I was nervous to switch from the “big red book fair company”!

– Aimee W., Newark, DE

8. Go Cashless with Gift Cards

Literati Gift Cards make shopping easy for families and stress-free for you. They’re perfect for teacher gifts, community donations, or simply avoiding the chaos of cash. Plus, they work both in person and online.

9. Simple, Smart Checkout

Our register system is so intuitive, most schools need fewer volunteers than with their previous provider—and still move the line faster. It’s fast, easy to train on, and ready to go right out of the box.

The fair was very easy to set up, colorful and the selection of books was great! The cash registers were very easy to use and worked perfectly. It was a wonderful experience.

– Dawn B., Canton, GA

10. Rewards That Actually Work for You

Choose the reward model that best fits your school: books straight from your fair, cash, Literati Points, or a custom mix. It’s your fair—you should decide how it gives back to your school community.

11. Stress-Free Delivery & Pickup

Our delivery team is friendly, professional, and focused on keeping your school and students safe. We’ll make sure materials arrive on time and pick-up is smooth—so you can close out your fair with ease.

Both years I’ve used Literati our deliver and pick up guys have been wonderful! They were helpful and so polite and kind. Thank you for having great people!

– Robyn S., Southern Pine, SC

12. A Team That Listens

Your voice matters. We read every survey, listen to coordinator feedback, and make changes that reflect your real needs—like enhanced book replenishment, expanded selection, and simplified logistics.

Thank you for being open to growing and changing in response to customer feedback! It’s a pleasure to work with a book fair company that isn’t stuck in its ways and is so responsive to the customer.

– Katie D., Carmel, IN

Ready to Make the Switch?

If any of these 12 reasons struck a chord, it’s time to talk. Our team would love to learn what’s most important to you—and explore how we can build a book fair experience that feels like a true celebration of reading.

Let’s make your next fair your best one yet.

The post 12 Reasons Why Schools Love Literati Book Fairs appeared first on Literati.

With “Secrets of the Sea” as the theme, Ms. Mellina didn’t just decorate—she transported her students straight into an underwater wonderland for her Literati Book Fair. Floating jellyfish swayed from the ceiling, sea plants curled around the tables, and playful paper plate fish swam across the walls. Bubbles and ocean-themed signs added layers of detail that made the whole space feel immersive and alive.

Pure ocean enchantment. Unforgettable. 

Stewart Elementary didn’t just embrace the “Crack the Case” book fair theme—they turned it into a full-blown reading mystery adventure! With secret vaults, caution tape, and detective-style footprints leading curious readers through the library, every detail invited students to step into the story. Teacher wishlists were cleverly disguised as “Evidence Bags,” adding a playful twist that had kids and staff alike fully immersed. Major applause to Ms. Davis for transforming the book fair into an unforgettable, clue-filled celebration of reading. 

Mrs. Davis, we at Literati raise our magnifying glasses in toast to you. 

Whoa. Welcome to the “Story Arcade,” where books and video games collide in the best possible way. Ms. Ladner transformed her library into a retro-inspired gamer’s paradise, complete with towering question blocks, floating star balloons, and even full suits of armor guarding the entrance. With Mario and Luigi welcoming readers at the door and bright displays waiting inside, every inch of the book fair space sparked curiosity and nostalgia.

Power up, Ms. Ladner. You make our gamer hearts sing. 

Ms. Griffin launched her students into orbit with this out-of-this-world “Galactic Adventures” book fair! From hand-drawn rockets and robots to floating planets and UFOs, every corner of the space was filled with interstellar charm. The star of the show? A grinning green alien in a flying saucer beaming down the best message of all: “Take me to your reader!”

What made this book fair stand out wasn’t just the creativity—it was the heart behind it. Ms. Griffin blended science, imagination, and a love of reading into a theme that made every student feel like they were exploring a brand new universe, one book at a time. 

Okay, we love Ms. Bradley. This incredible book fair coordinator took her students on a wild ride through the pages of a storybook safari, complete with plush animals lounging among the shelves, signs warning “Don’t pet the lions,” and a crocodile peeking out from his watery hideaway, this book fair was equal parts playful and transportive. Even her desk transformed into part of the adventure—complete with cut-out critters and jungle vibes.

We’ve never really wanted to get eaten by an alligator, until now. 

Ms. D’Agostino took “Galactic Adventures” to stellar heights with a book fair setup that truly soared. A massive space backdrop framed the entire fair, setting the scene for an intergalactic escape, while stars dangled from the ceiling to light the way. Front and center? A handmade cardboard rocket ship boldly proclaiming, “Reading is a blast!”—and honestly, we couldn’t agree more.

This fair struck the perfect balance of whimsy and wonder. From the smallest star to the largest display, every detail worked together to spark curiosity and make books feel like the launchpad to something extraordinary.

How cute are those binoculars? With “Passport to Adventure” as the theme, Ms. O’Connor invited students to explore the world—one book at a time. The library was decked out in maps, signs, and globe-trotting details that made each section feel like a new destination. But what truly brought the journey to life were the volunteers dressed as travel guides, helping kids navigate the stacks like seasoned explorers.

This wasn’t just a book fair—it was a cultural experience powered by imagination and heart. The thoughtful touches, from the décor to the costumes, showed a level of dedication that made the magic of reading feel as boundless as the world itself.

The post 7 Beautiful Book Fairs appeared first on Literati.

There’s nothing quite like the buzz of a book fair—the shelves brimming with new stories, the excitement in students’ eyes, the joy of finding just the right book. But not all book fairs live up to that moment. If your fair has started to feel more like a retail chore than a celebration of reading, it might be time to look at what a better partner can offer.

Here are five reasons more schools are rethinking who they trust with their book fairs and what happens when they make the switch.

The best book fairs feel like stepping into another world. Our seasonal themes allow readers to explore gardens of imagination, drift through fantasy forests, or brush shoulders with their favorite characters. A thoughtful, immersive theme doesn’t just decorate a space; it sparks curiosity and invites students into the experience.

When your fair looks and feels like a story come to life, it sets the tone that this is more than an event. It’s a celebration of reading.

When the tables of toys draw more attention than the books, something’s off. Many schools are frustrated by fairs that feel more like dollar stores than literacy events.

A book-centered fair keeps the focus where it belongs: on fostering readers. Instead of clutter and tchotchkes, our Reading and Writing Center is intentional and connected to literacy—bookmarks, journals, and thoughtful reading incentives that align with your school’s mission.

Let’s be honest—rewards are only meaningful if they’re useful. That’s why one of the most-loved features of our program is the ability to choose books right from your fair, cash, Titlewave Credit, or a mix of all three.

Whatever your goals, your rewards should work for you, not the other way around.

Book fair coordinators do incredible work, but they shouldn’t have to be logistics experts. With limited volunteer time and packed school calendars, a fair that’s simple to run makes a big difference.

Setup takes about 45 minutes with just two volunteers. Rolling cases arrive fully stocked and ready to go. Tabletop displays are intuitive, and registers are modern and user-friendly. When everything is designed with ease in mind, you get more time to focus on connecting students with books.

Running a book fair shouldn’t feel like a second full-time job. That’s why we don’t just hand you a box and wish you luck. From your first planning call to your final sale, our team is here—responsive, resourceful, and genuinely invested in your success.

You’ll have a dedicated account manager who knows your school, your timeline, and your goals. And with OpenBook, our online planning platform, you get everything you need to run your fair at your fingertips: scheduling tools, promo materials, helpful checklists, and more.

Because when you’re supported, your fair is set up to shine.

You’re not just running a book fair—you’re creating a moment that can ignite a lifelong love of reading. And with the right partner, that moment gets a whole lot easier to create.

These kid-approved favorite books and series, including Dog Man, I Survived, Elephant & Piggie, and The Baby-Sitters Club are now available online through the Literati Store. 

Even better? Purchases of these titles during book fairs add to schools’ rewards-eligible sales totals. That means happier students and more resources for your school! Simply connect to your school on the site to activate the benefits.

And, because these Online Favorites can ship directly to students’ homes, they’re available to purchase (and earn rewards) year-round!

This fall, keep an eye out for another expansion to include educational toys and games, STEM kits, book box sets, and more—just in time for holiday shopping. Your thoughtful gifts will go further: 10% of every purchase benefits your local school.

Lastly, around here, we like to say “feedback is a gift.” And we take that to heart. Since we’re newer to the book fair space, we value every comment we receive—not only because it helps us to hone your experience and make it easier to spark a love of learning in every child, but also because you took the time out of your day to tell us how we could improve. And part of helping to spark a love of learning is being open to learning ourselves!

So, we’d like to thank you from the bottom of our bookish hearts for helping us to make this happen. With every review, every comment, you’ve given us an opportunity to learn how to serve you better, and in turn, support schools in helping children fall in love with reading.

Creating a positive reading culture is crucial for fostering literacy and improving reading levels among children. These seven tips will help to build that positive reading culture in your school, which will set your students up for a lifelong love of reading. 

1. Elevate Books Above the Noise

Encourage reading as a fun and enjoyable activity along with access to a wide variety of books that cater to different interests and reading levels. 

Literati Book Fairs are intentionally curated to drive your school’s sales and introduce young readers to exciting new books—including titles they may not have found otherwise. Our children’s literature experts work with over 150 publishers to find compelling, well-crafted stories to resonate with your students.

2. Lead by Example

Adults, role models, and other students should demonstrate their own enjoyment of reading. When children see others reading, they are more likely to view it as a desirable activity. 

“One of my favorite parts of school was individual reading time. I loved seeing the different stories everyone wanted to read, including my teacher. We were reading on our own, but it felt like we were doing it as a team.”

—William, 2nd Grade

3. Establish Reading Routines

Set aside dedicated times for reading each day, both at home and in school. Consistency helps build habits and reinforces the importance of reading.

4. Create Reading Spaces

Design comfortable and inviting reading areas where children can relax with books. These spaces should be stocked with engaging materials and be free from distractions.

5. Celebrate Achievements

Recognize and celebrate reading milestones and accomplishments. This can be done through awards, certificates, or public praise to reinforce positive behavior.

6. Involve Families

Engage parents and caregivers in the reading process by providing resources, hosting family reading events, and encouraging reading at home. Family involvement enhances support for reading skills development.

“Our school hosts a summer reading program each year. As a community, we read the school-chosen book over summer and follow the provided calendar showing which chapter we should read to stay on track. The school then has community leaders read various chapters, hosts scavenger hunts across our town, and hosts events centered around the book. My kids love all the activities tied into the summer reading program and enjoy participating with their friends. It also helps to keep my kids’ reading skills sharp over the summer break.”

—Ashley, Mom of Two Elementary School Students

7. Integrate Reading Across Subjects

Emphasize the importance of reading in all subjects, not just English/language arts. Show how reading is relevant in science, history, and even math, fostering a holistic approach to literacy.

When implementing these strategies, educators, families, and communities can work together to create a positive reading culture that fosters a student’s love for reading, supports literacy development, and helps improve reading levels over time.
