Tarkio Elementary Book Fair

Tarkio Elementary School will host the Scholastic Book Fair Monday, September 15, through Friday, September 19, 2025. This is an event geared to excite children about reading and learning. The fair will be held in the elementary library and is open to Tarkio citizens and the surrounding community.

The book fair helps the school promote learning while raising money to purchase new books and materials for the library. Money raised at the book fair has been used to rejuvenate the library in many ways. Funds have also been instrumental in providing field trip experiences to children meeting the yearly Mark Twain Ultimate Reading Challenge, as well as incentives for quarterly awards and school-wide reading celebrations. Along with these neat things, the library can purchase books at half the retail cost and earn product vouchers for use in the Scholastic catalog as a reward for participation in book fair promotions and meeting sales goals.

The book fair will offer popular books and educational products for all ages, including the newest titles from more than 150 publishers. All are offered at reasonable prices so that students can choose books that appeal to their personal interests and parents can add to home libraries. The fair is open Monday through Thursday from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and will close on Friday, September 19, by 8:30 a.m.
