Delivering Good News!

Good News! Book Fair is all about instilling the love of reading in children with books that are fun, entertaining, and wholesome!

Established in 2014, our company celebrates school hosted book fairs for Pre-K to 8th grade students with a section for parents and teachers too! Our books are selected from, not one but many, top U.S. publishers. This way children will have access to numerous recent releases, best sellers, and classics.

We have a group of curators made up of librarians, authors, and parents who read every book and following our guidelines makes sure the books are age-appropriate and clean reads.

We customize our book fairs to service all schools.  Currently, we have offices and distribution centers in Florida and in Ohio.

Our goal is to get children to read more and provide them with great books. In 2023, we started a nonprofit: Literacy Advocates USA.

Good News! Book Fair is the primary program of Literacy Advocates USA. We select engaging books and offer author presentations to attract even the most reluctant reader. We also help educators select books and do consultation for school libraries.

  • We recently hosted our first book fair with the Good News Book Fair and it was very successful. It was a pleasure to be able to just open the boxes and display the books without having to sort through and pull books with content that is not in line with our Christian values. They are very supportive, easy to work with and strive to meet the needs of each school. We look forward to many fairs with them in the future.

  • This year was our first time partnering with Good News! Book Fair for our school. In years past, we had partnered with a more secular provider and it showed: It showed in their book offerings and themes. This year, we enjoyed being able to offer a wide variety of appropriate literature for our students from ages 5 through 15 because we partnered with Good News! Book Fair. They have a great program going, complete with the provision of everything needed to host the book fair. They delivered in every way and our librarian and volunteers thoroughly enjoyed the event, being able to relax, knowing that the details were all in order. Our school achieved record sales because the books and other items were well-aligned with the culture of our Christian school, our students and their families. We look forward to partnering with Good News! Book Fair in years to come!

  • As a pastor, it was reassuring to me that our students could browse through the books and other materials available without finding anything contradictory to our Catholic faith.

  • I believe what students read in their free time is as formative as what they read for class. By working with a faith-based group like Good News Book Fair that provides wholesome secular books in addition to religious books, we are being consistent in our positive moral formation of the children.

  • The energy and professionalism they brought to our book fair reflect their care and focus on spreading the ‘Good News’ to our parish community through thoughtfully selected literature for all ages groups and interests was evident at our every interaction, and we are blessed to have had this event take place here at St. Sebastian Parish. I highly recommend holding a “Good News Book Fair” at your parish school for your students, families and community.

  • The book fair gave my children a wide variety of wholesome books to choose from. It was comforting to know that I didn’t have to screen their selections for inappropriate contact. It was also reassuring that my children would not be exposed to questionable material as they browsed. My children have enjoyed the items we purchased.
