The last book fair was a total success in the library from
April 30 through May 4 making double the profit of nearly $2500 dollars. She
loves hosting the book fairs because she likes to see everyone happy and
students getting the books they like. But from now on, she might run two book
fairs instead of three because one does not make much profit as the others.
After
having difficulties gathering volunteers and shelving the books, Ms. Burman
managed to be a great host and was always there to help us. “What I enjoy the
most is seeing everyone happy and having good relations with our volunteers,”
says Ms. Burman. According to her, the morning and afternoon rushes are
difficult to deal with, mostly of second to seventh graders on Tuesday and
Wednesday. “It was crazy but fun,” says Ms. Burman.
The book
fair sold many popular items such as The Hunger Games, Big Nate, and Diary of
the Wimpy Kid books. “My favorite book is Behind the Line because it tells
about the soldiers experiences in war and it is very interesting. It will not
make me stop reading it,” says Luis from 5th grade. Even the most
popular poster they sold was Angry Birds. The thing students like the most
about the book fairs is the selection of books. “What I enjoyed most about book
fairs is the variety of manga,” says Susanna Sutherland from 6th
grade. Most of the students bought The Hunger Games, Maximum Ride, and the Dork
Diaries. Suzanne Collins and James Pattersome are the favorites of most
students. They get really into Adventure, Mystery, and Manga books.
The
students enjoyed the book fairs as much as Ms. Burman enjoyed helping them out.
Everyone thought this book fair was better than the past book fairs they had as
they took advantage of the buy one get one free sale. I believe the book fair gets
better every year as more people looks forward to it. “I look forward to the
next book fair because there will be more items to purchase with new books
coming out”, says Luis Zavala from 5th grade.
