Literati Book Fair - Spring 2026

Dear Parents and Families,

We are excited to invite you to our upcoming Literati Book Fair. Hosted by the PTC, this event is an opportunity for students of all ages to build their home libraries and further their love of reading. This book fair is Buy One Get One Free! As always, all purchases benefit our school.

Here's what you need to know about the fair, which will take place from Tuesday, May 12th through Thursday, May 14th in the Tile Room at Forest.

Literati offers digital gift cards, a safe and secure alternative to cash. We strongly recommend setting up a digital gift card if you plan to give your student a budget of over $20. Any unused funds can be spent at our online Literati store at any time or for a future book fair. You can merge unused funds to your new gift card. To set up a digital gift card, visit our online store at this link: https://literati.com/store/?school=forest-elementary-school-des-plaines-il

Choose gift cards at the top and select the amount you want to add. You will then receive an email with the gift card in it. Print it out to send with your child to remind them of how much they have to spend!

Students will visit the fair with their classrooms during a time slot chosen by their teacher. Most books start around $6. Just a reminder that Literati does charge tax on purchases. Tax is 10% of the subtotal. Also, there will be no returns accepted unless there is a defect with a product.

We're excited to share our love of books together at the Book Fair. We look forward to seeing your child there!

Happy Reading,

Amber Soike
