Scholastic does offer a Buy 1 Get 1 Free fair for Spring fairs only.
Although it isn't the time when most libraries want their book fairs, it
is geared more toward benefiting students. Instead of receiving a book
profit for the library, it is passed onto the students with a free book.

Subject: [LM_NET] ELEM: book fair advice please!
As a first year librarian, I held my very first Scholastic book fair in
November 2004. I was disappointed that so many of the books were
outrageously priced and the kids (who have very little money to spend)
were
more interested in the gadgets and pens/pencils the company sent. Are
there
any other book fair companies one can use that provide more economically
priced books? Are there suggestions out there for how I can make the
book
fair more beneficial to the students? Any comments are greatly
appreciated!
Thanks!
