Frequently Asked Questions
The book flier sent home is only a small selection of titles that will be available for students to purchase. We will have a wide variety of books. Volunteers will be available to help students shop.
Wishlists
Students will preview the book fair with their class on Friday, October 23rd, to make a wish list of interesting titles. They are not obligated to purchase items from their wish lists.
Ordering Out of Stock Titles
If we sell out of a title, students may pay for it during the book fair and we will order a copy for them. Prepaid orders are typically delivered to the school the week after the book fair ends.
Payment
If you wish to send in money with your child, please put the check (made payable to NMES) or money in an envelope with your child’s name and the teacher’s name on the outside of the envelope. Please include 6% MD tax. We also accept credit and debit cards.
Our bookfair company also has an eWallet, where parents can set up a maximum amount for their child to spend and then print a barcode to send to school in place of cash. You can find the eWallet website at https://www.bookwormbmaps.com/eWallet/.
