    • TEACHER SCHOOL BOOK FAIRS:

Teacher book fairs generally last a full day, and are run by Mrs. Nelson's staff. You provide us with a purchase order number and we'll provide the necessary paperwork for billing (plus, you'll get a 10% discount), and your teachers get to walk out with their new books!
