Introducing Spark Book Fairs
For over five decades, book fairs have sparked a love of reading in millions of children. We still remember the feeling of excitement when our parents gave us a few dollars to buy any book we wanted and the joy of delving into a new adventure. Reading brought us closer to our parents and helped us learn and grow, which gave our teachers fulfillment, too.
However, the world today is different from when this tradition began, with parents struggling to make ends meet and schools facing budget cuts. This is where Spark Book Fairs comes in. It’s a new online book fair program aimed at igniting a passion for reading at home and school by making books affordable to everyone while raising funds for schools.
Not Your Average Book Fair
Spark Book Fairs was designed in consultation with teachers and librarians to provide a more inclusive book fair option. With over 45,000 titles at bargain prices, the whole community can get in on the fun. Finding affordable books for all ages, from kids to adults, and enjoying the joy of reading has never been easier. Plus, you’re raising much-needed funds for your school. Isn’t that a win-win?
What Makes Spark Book Fairs Unique
For many years, your options for book fair providers were limited. Spark Book Fairs is here to change that—with a more affordable and convenient book fair option. What specifically makes Spark unique? Let us break it down.
Affordable bargain prices
With the same great bargain product you know and love (and more!), Spark passes the incredible savings to book fair participants. The lower prices mean more books for students and their families.
Large title selection
With over 45,000 titles across hundreds of publishers for all ages, the variety of books available has never been better. Plus, with new arrivals added to inventory daily, the options are always fresh and exciting.
Wide audience reach
With the all-age content and the online model, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and community members can relive the joy of their childhood book fair with Spark. Since Spark is entirely online, anyone can partake from the comfort of their homes, with all orders shipped directly to their doors.
Unlimited cash back opportunity
With 20% cash back on every book fair purchase, fundraising has never been easier. Redeem your rewards as cash for your school’s current needs or in the form of Spark book credit. The choice is yours.

We know that trying something new can be daunting, but hosting a book fair with Spark is a very simple process. You have an account coordinator to ensure you are supported every step of the way—before, during, and after your book fair—so the event runs smoothly and raises as much money as possible.
