Here’s a quick set of answers to your most pressing book fair questions!
When can my child buy books?
- Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday with their teachers/classes (list of classroom visit times is HERE)
- Thursday morning (9am - 12p) on their own if they have payment and a pass from their teacher

- Tuesday night from 6:00pm - 8:00pm
- Wednesday after school from 3:00pm - 4:00pm
- During your child's class time - volunteer to help or just stop in
What forms of payment do you accept?
- Scholastic eWALLET
- Cash
- Credit card
- Apple pay
What is an eWallet and how do I set one up?
Scholastic eWallet account is basically a book fair debit account.
- Set one up for your child HERE.
- If you set up an ewallet account last year, YOU STILL MUST LOG ON AND REACTIVATE IT. Any remaining money is still available, but does not roll over automatically.
- To purchase books, your child just needs to share their name with the cashier, or you can print out the eWallet receipt.
- Once you add money to the eWallet account you cannot be refunded. BUT any leftover eWallet funds will be converted to an e-card balance that you can use on Scholastic.com at any time or during next year’s book fair.
- Don’t forget to factor in tax when trying to determine how much to include in the eWallet account.

Tips for families to ensure a successful book fair:
The Book Fair is an opportunity for students and families to purchase books and is Bradley Hills PTA fundraiser. Since students are used to coming to the Media Center each week to pick out a book to borrow, it may be hard for some to understand that the book fair requires a purchase. Parents can help explain the difference and that, like going to a store with family, not everyone gets something for themselves each time.
Parents who are comfortable with their child purchasing books at the book fair might want to discuss an appropriate budget with their child and what they can buy—book prices start at $4.99 plus tax. As always, there will be some small items—pencils, pens, erasers, posters, bookmarks, etc.—that students enjoy purchasing – please speak with your child about your preference for these items.
Thank you for your support!
