Get ready, readers! The Literati Book Fair is bringing a world of new adventures to Cherry Creek Academy!
From September 21st through September 25th, our campus will transform into a hub of literary exploration, packed with incredible stories, engaging activities, and books for all ages. This is a fantastic opportunity for our students to discover their next favorite story, build their home libraries, and foster a lifelong love of reading.
A huge thank you to our incredible community! All volunteer spots for the upcoming book fair are officially full. If you missed the chance to sign up but still want to help out, waitlists are available for every day of the fair. We highly encourage you to add your name to the waitlist—if a spot opens up, you'll still get to help our young readers navigate the shelves, ring up their new finds, and receive a 20% discount on the day of your shift!
Sign up on Track It Forward!
Can't wait until to shop? We have great news: our online fair is officially open TODAY!
