When is the Wiley PTA Fall Book Fair?

I’d like my child to participate in the book fair, but I’m concerned about the cost. Is any assistance available?
Yes! Books are an important part in helping children build strong literacy skills. At Wiley, we are proud of our PTA Book Fairy program that ensures that every student gets a new book from the book fair in the Fall and Spring. Through the Book Fairy, we provide approximately 100 books each book fair. If you would like your child to participate in the Book Fairy program, please inform their home room teacher.
Is tax added to the cost of the book, or is it the price listed?
We use the US price listed on the book, and round up to the nearest whole dollar. For example, if the book price is listed at $5.99 US, the Wiley Book Fair price is $6 US.
What if a book I want runs out of stock at the Book Fair?
At the Book Fair, it is inevitable that some books become unpredictably more popular than others. For all book sales, whether in stock or not, Wiley Book Fair volunteers document all sales and provide a receipt for all purchases.
For books that are out-of-stock at the fair, the student will leave the Book Fair with a receipt for the book, and the Book Fair Committee coordinates with Quail Ridge to order the out of stock book, and then the book is delivered to the student in their home room.
How can I donate books to fulfill teachers’ wish lists?
When you visit the Book Fair, teachers will have their own wish lists available for caregivers to review. If you are so inspired, you can add a teacher’s wish list book to your total purchase, and we drop the book directly into their wish list bag. If the book is unavailable, we will let them know the book was purchased and will be delivered at a later date, when other out of stock books are ordered and delivered.
How can I donate books to fulfill students’ wish lists?
A new book is priceless for every child. Books are an important part in helping children build strong literacy skills. At Wiley, we are proud of our PTA Book Fairy program that ensures that every student gets a new book from the book fair. Through the Book Fairy, we provide approximately 100 books each book fair, but it is only possible through donations from our Wiley community. Help us turn our students into lifetime readers by donating to the PTA Book Fairy program!
