BOOK FAIR!!!

The BCS Media Center is having a Virtual Book Fair this fall!  Visit our eFair to make a wish list and/or purchase books.  All proceeds benefit our library and help us fund new books, databases, programs, and other materials.  Here’s the info:


Visit the BCS eFair!  Go to https://efairs.follettbookfairs.com/ and enter code Z6P71. 

The eFair is open beginning Monday, November 9 through Monday, November 23.

Kids can create a wish list to send to parents, grandparents, guardians, or others who love to buy books.  Watch the eFair Wish List Video for details.  (Note: all students will be invited to create their Wish List during their library time next week.)

You can also bypass the wish list and purchase books with a credit card directly on the eFair site.

Your purchases are delivered to BCS, and we will pass on the books to students via classroom dropoff or through our Distribution of Student Materials process. 

Ordering a gift?  Email the librarian and we’ll make sure you get your order discreetly. ;-)

Please direct all questions to Ann Truesdell, BCS Library Media Specialist, at atruesdell@birmingham.k12.mi.us.
