Fall Book Fair: September 21-25, 2026

Holiday Book Fair: December 7-11, 2026

BOGO Summer Reading Book Fair: April 26-30, 2027

All Book Fairs are open Monday-Friday in the mornings from 7:30-7:50am and after school from 2:20-3:30pm (except Fridays). Each student will have a chance to come to the fair during their scheduled library class time. We also schedule a family event with each book fair, so watch for information about those on ParentSquare!

We can always use volunteers! Help us put fun books in our students’ hands and raise money for our school library. We can use volunteers before school, during class library times, after school, and at our family events. Check out ParentSquare for each fair’s volunteer signup sheet.

We encourage students to use the Five-Finger Rule when looking for a book within their reading abilities. How does this work?

1. Open to a page.

Choose a page in the middle of the book and start reading. Your child will read either a page or a full paragraph depending on the difficulty of the book.

2. Hold up your hand. 

Every time you come to a word your child doesn't know or can't figure out, put up one finger.

3. Check your fingers!

• 0–1 fingers:
  • Too Easy → Your child probably knows most of the words in this book. This book is great to read and enjoy without difficulty.
• 2–3 fingers:
  • Just Right! → Great choice! Your child understands most of the words and can enjoy this story while also challenging their reading abilities.
• 4 fingers:
  • A Little Tricky → Your child may need some help with a few words in this book. Try another page to make sure this book isn’t too difficult. 
• 5 fingers:
  • Too Hard for Right Now → There are lots of words in this book your child doesn't know on their own. Try a different book, and come back to this one later!

Remember, the Five-Finger Rule is just a tool to help your child choose a book that they can comfortably read on their own and improve their reading capabilities. It's okay to read books that are easy, challenging, funny, interesting, or just plain awesome!

Library books belong to our whole school community, so let’s take care of them! When students treat a book gently, they are helping make sure that other Knights can enjoy it after they’ve moved on to their next literature adventure.

Remember to:

• Use clean, dry hands when reading.
• Turn pages gently. Never bend, fold, or tear them.
• Use a bookmark instead of folding down the corners.
• Keep food and drinks away from books.
• Keep books away from pets and little siblings who might want to “help” read!
• Keep books in a safe place when they’re not being read.
• Protect books from water, rain, and spills.

Most Important:

Library books don't belong to just one person. They belong to all of us! Taking good care of a book means the next reader gets to enjoy the same adventure.
