VOLUNTEER 2025 Book Fair

COME HELP AT THE BOOK FAIR!!

The book fair is such a fun event that the children look forward to every year.  They come to the library during their regular library period, and inside there is a bookstore set up so they can browse and purchase books.

 

All children will receive a FREE book courtesy of the PTO.

 

The books are selected and provided by locally owned Children's Book World in Haverford, PA.

 

Proceeds from the book fair go towards supporting teacher purchases!  Each year the PTO gives teachers funds they use on supplies to improve their lessons and provide resources for your students!

 

There are four ways you can volunteer -

  • Set-Up and Clean-Up - we need many hands to help set up the tables, display the books, and take down and repackage everything at the end.  This is done after school hours.  Your children can come and just sit off to the side while you help.
  • In-Class support - we need volunteers to come to each class period to help children select books, figure out money, and purchase.  You do NOT have to come to your own child's class - you can come to any class that fits your schedule!
  • Family Night - we need volunteers each hour to help run Family Night!  It is a great night to come out, visit with school friends, and check out the book fair!
  • Extravaganza Book Shop - our Book Fair will be OPEN during the Lynnewood Extravaganza!  This is a weekend volunteer opportunity.  Come help run the shop!
  • Book Transport - occasionally throughout the week we may need someone to drive to Children's Book World (in Haverford) and pick up shipments of books and then bring them back to Lynnewood.  If you sign up for this our Book Fair Coordinator will reach out to you before the fair begins to get an idea of your availability.

Please see below for specific details and times - and sign up to help!

Book Transport

Sometimes a title is so popular that we run out!  In that case Children's Book World will get us more copies mid-week and someone needs to drive over to the store (in Haverford), pick them up, and then bring them back to Lynnewood to restock the fair.

This is a perfect opportunity for someone who has a flexible work schedule and can pop out mid-day for a 30 minute time period.

If you sign up for this slot our Book Fair Coordinator will reach out before the fair begins to get more information about your availability and schedule.
