Running out of funds and would like more resources for the library?
Want more resources, but no extra work?
We can help!
Bramble Bay Book Fairs are a great way of raising much needed funds for the library without lots of hassle. All our books are $2, $5, $7, $10, $15 or $20 and there are no fluffy toys or plastic knick-knacks. We bring the books, we set them up, and we pack them up. There’s no fuss. All you have to do is decide what books you’d like at the end of it!
WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE PLANNING A BOOK FAIR
The first step if you are considering a Book Fair is to contact us and arrange a time that would suit you to hold the Book Fair and let us know the number of days that you would like it to run for. We will discuss with you the types of books that you would like to have displayed and other relevant details. Generally we provide a wide range of new releases, old favourites and discount titles plus some titles suitable for the rest of the family.
Once a time has been arranged, let everybody know when and where it is going to be. Advertise it in your school newsletter, put up posters, get excited about it. Before the Fair we will send you a promotional flyer, which can be photocopied and sent home to parents with short reviews of some of the titles and its date and location. Let everybody know that the Book Fair is a fundraiser for the library and a great chance to look at and buy some fantastic books.
SETTING UP
You will need to have an area where you can place a few tables on which to display books and where there is room for children and parents to browse.
The day before the Fair, unless otherwise arranged, we will arrive with the boxes of books and set them up.
DURING THE FAIR
Enjoy the books! Read the ones that you like out aloud to the children. Give all the children a chance to look at the books. Letting the children look through the books one class at a time is an effective way of making sure that all the children have a chance to see what is on offer.
Children can write down titles that they particularly like on the “My Wish List’ form to take home to show their parents.
AFTER THE FAIR
Once the Book Fair is over we will come and collect the books.
After you have received money for all the books that have been sold please make your payment to Bramble Bay Books within 14 days.
A percentage of your sales revenue will be donated to your school or centre as books for your library. Books may be chosen from the Fair or we are happy to bring in a range of new releases or supply any particular books that you are after.

Sales of $5001 or more receive books to the value of 25% of your sales.
