Please Join Us for Prospect's Spring Book Fair!

PLEASE JOIN US FOR PROSPECT LIBRARY’S SPRING BOOK FAIR
PARTNERING WITH ANDERSON'S BOOKFAIR COMPANY

Get ready for a blooming good time at our Spring Book Fair! It’s the perfect opportunity to explore new books, find exciting stories, and stock up on great reads while supporting our school library. A wide selection of books for all ages will be available, including fiction, non-fiction, graphic novels, activity books, and more!

When:
• Tuesday, May 5th from 8:25AM – 3:30PM
• Wednesday, May 6th from 8:25AM – 3:30PM and from 5:30PM–7:00PM during Prospect's Fine Arts Night

Important Info:
• Students in Grades K thru 5th will visit the fair as a class at the times listed below. Parents are welcome (and encouraged) to join their child(ren) when they shop with their class! You are also welcome to send money with your child to shop during this time and our volunteers will help your child manage the purchasing process.
• We accept CASH (smaller bills appreciated) and all major CREDIT CARDS. Sorry no checks.
• You can help our teachers build their class libraries too! Make sure to check out the Teacher Baskets to donate a book to your child(ren)’s classroom.

New This Year:
• Since most items at the book fair are priced at $xx.99 the total due will be rounded up to the nearest whole dollar when paying with cash.

The Prospect Library directly benefits from a portion of all book fair sales. These proceeds help us add new titles to our collection and replace worn out favorites, ensuring our library continues to grow and inspire a love of reading.

One Book One School

4/19/2026 6:55 am

Have you been reading the One Book One School selection, The Guardian Test? It’s not too late! Author Christina Soontornvat will be presenting to the students on May 6th and will be available for a meet-and-greet and book signing on Fine Arts Night. Remember to bring your book if you’d like it signed! Some of her books will also be available for purchase at the book fair.

Help us welcome Ms. Soontornvat and celebrate her book The Guardian Test by making your own guardian! If you would like to show off your creative side, we are looking for families to build your own “guardian” animal to display during the author visit and at Fine Arts Night. Use paper; legos, kits, posterboard, cardboard boxes or recycled goods - make it as big or as small as you like! All submissions should be delivered to school by Monday, May 4th.

Please let your child know if they can donate to the collection jars at the book fair. (Note, no coins will be given as change this year but if your kids bring some from home, we are happy to accept it!)
