The Usborne "Reading Is A Gift" book fair program was developed by Usborne Books to encourage reading and at the same time, raise money or free books for your school or organization. We understand the needs and challenges faced by organizations trying to raise funds so we've designed the program to make it both easy on sponsors and successful in reaching your fundraising goals!
Reading is a Gift Book Fairs are Hassle-free
An Usborne educational consultant will literally take you by the hand and walk you through a fund-raising and mind-enriching event where there are two winners - your students and your school! All of the Usborne "Reading Is A Gift" book fair promotional materials are provided by the consultant to help make your event a huge success.
Usborne Books Creates A Fundraiser That Keeps On Giving
The Usborne family of books is internationally acclaimed as the finest educational children's book line-up in the marketplace today. Usborne offers over 2,000 fiction and non-fiction titles that inspire, enthrall and teach your students through reading. As a sponsor, you can choose from a wide range of subjects covering hobbies, science, nature, parents' guides and more. Is there a better gift to give than the gift of reading? There's no better gift for your school or organization than an Usborne "Reading Is A Gift" book fair event that promotes reading and pays you back in FREE books and/or cash.
