Long Book Fair

2016 Book Fair

WRITTEN BY MALLORY BROOM AND NORAH JORDAN

It was the event we’d been waiting for all year. Student queued up outside of the doors just hoping to get a look at the colorful displays. There was the joy of holding the prize in your hands and the disappointment of not getting there in time. No, it’s not the Super Bowl. It’s Long Elementary's Scholastic Book Fair.

As our book fair comes to an end, we’d like to review the highlights of our annual Long book fair. We asked around and apparently Long students have a lot to say on this topic. We asked them to rate the book fair one through five stars--one being the worst and five being the best. Most students rated the book fair an average four or five. “I really liked how many genres there were,” Gabby Hipp, Long student, remarks. An anonymous student claims that he’s satisfied with the fact that it is a ‘fair’ completely dedicated to books. Let’s give a round of applause for our awesome book fair volunteers and library staff!

We would also like to take a look back on some of the most popular books of this book fair.

Captain Underpants

This classic character takes a flying leap into our Scholastic book fair! These books are filled to the brim with fun pictures and hilarious surprises that will have you laughing every time!

Star Wars

Not that long ago in a galaxy just down the hallway there was a book fair with super fun Star Wars books! From Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker to Kylo Ren and Rey,these books are filled with so much fun! So whether you are on the dark side or the light side you should definitely check out some of these cool Star Wars books!
