An Update on U.S. Scholastic Book Fairs for Spring 2024

Scholastic has a clear mission: to make sure all children have access to books and resources that will help them learn to read and love to read. At the heart of inspiring a lifelong reader is ensuring every child finds the right books for them, and Scholastic Book Fairs is one of the many ways we do this. Today, delivering on this mission comes with extraordinary challenges. We are committed to helping schools share stories that represent, reflect, and inspire all children through Scholastic Book Fairs.

An Update from Scholastic on U.S. Book Fairs

This fall, we made changes in our U.S. elementary school fairs out of concern for our Book Fair hosts. In doing this, we offered a collection of books to supplement the diverse collection of titles already available at the Scholastic Book Fair. We understand now that the separate nature of the collection has caused confusion and feelings of exclusion. 

A Message from Scholastic on U.S. Book Fairs

Scholastic provides diverse titles to every Book Fair.  

There have been a number of misconceptions that we want to clarify about how we have created a path to host Scholastic Book Fairs, even as schools and educators in the U.S. navigate restrictions imposed on them by state legislation and local policy. The biggest misconception is that Scholastic Book Fairs is putting all diverse titles into one optional case. This is not true, in any school, in any location we serve.
