Hello Delta Center Families!

The March Literati “Story Arcade” Book Fair is coming! Planning is underway!
Do you want to skip the crowds? No worries. The newly revamped Literati Store is now available for
us to shop at. Families are able to shop the book fair early using this link. Our book fair store is now
open:

Literati Book Fair

Some of these titles will not likely be at our in-person fair (such as the Dog Man series). The online
store will have much more to choose from.

Our in-person book fair will be the week of March 10 th .
We will have 2 family shopping nights:
Tuesday, March 11th from 5pm-8pm
Thursday, March 13th from 5pm-8pm

Are you interested in volunteering at our book fair? Bookfair volunteers receive a 20% discount
through Literati. A sign-up genius to assist me at the cash registers will become available the closer
we get to the fair.

More details to come!
