HICKLEBEE’S BOOK FAIR @ BOOKSIN LIBRARY - DECEMBER 9-13
Every year, we partner with Hicklebee’s Bookstore on Lincoln Avenue to transform our library into a mini bookstore. Students, families, and friends can buy a variety of books and small gifts for kids and adults. With the money made at the Book Fair, we are able to replace well-loved books and add popular new titles to our library. The Book Fair is also a great time to get some holiday shopping done!
Student Hours
Most classes will have a chance to visit the Book Fair during their regularly scheduled library time. Kids who bring money can shop during their class time if their teacher allows, or during recess and lunch.
Public Hours
The Book Fair will be open to parents, families, and friends after school each day with special extended hours on Wednesday.

  • Monday, Tuesday: 2:15 PM– 4:00 PM
  • Wednesday-2:15PM -5:30PM
  • Thursday: 2:15 PM-4:00 PM 
  • Friday: 2:15 PM-3:15 PM 

Book Fair Tips

  • The Book Fair can be crowded right after school. If we feel that the library is too crowded, we will ask guests to wait in line outside the library until the crowd thins out. This may also happen during recess and/or lunch, but will do our best with the volunteers we have to give everyone plenty of time.
  • Each student can create a wishlist when their class visits the book fair. Ask your child(ren) to share this wishlist with you so you can pick out the perfect books!
  • Donate a book to your child’s classroom or the school library. Teachers and our LMT will create a “Wishlist” of books that they would like to add to their classroom libraries or the school library.
  • If they choose to do so, on site after school care programs can bring kids to the Book Fair. Ask your provider if they will participate, and if so,  send money with your child. You can also stop by on Wednesday when you pick up your child as the Book Fair will be open until 5:30 PM.
  • Gifts can be purchased or ordered at the Special Order desk. Hicklebee’s carries adult fiction, non-fiction, cookbooks, and much more! They can special order almost anything if you can’t find it at the Book Fair.
