HIT: 1 last bookfair item

[M Hunt <mchunt@AUG.MINDSPRING.COM>]

Found the last lost bookfair mail and it has such  good ideas wanted to post
it even if I already sent the rest.  Thanks Bev and all  for all your patience.

Hi Margaret,

I just finished a bookfair last week... so I am full ideas (and exhaustion!)

        *  Publicize widely - posters around school, adverts in school
newsletter

        *  Recruit volunteers - other staff - like Library Advisory
Committee            members - to help with the manning (oops... personning)
of the            bookfair.

        *  Use book stands (I begged bookstores for some - then decorated
them            to suit our needs) to display books

        *  Make the area attractive:  - I used a lifesize cutout of Donald Duck
           with hands outstretched to focus attendtion on the bookfair -

        *  I stuck all kinds of promotional posters of books/authors on a
large            white board and used this as a back to the bookfair space

        *  Get classes to visit the bookfair with their class/English teachers
           Have them book a time on a bookfair visiting timetable so that it
           doesn't get too busy

        *  Have other activities going on at the same time : I held our
bookfair
           through book week so there really was a lot of action.... I also had
           the library open for three of the five lunch times showing videos


Well that is about it for now.... Hope all this helps...

Regards
Bev Novak
