We want our book fairs to be an experience tailored specifically to your school, organization, or university’s uniqueness. Let’s call it a “boutique of book fairs.” We try to reach out to local authors, use media interaction, and make your shopping special! We also offer movies, gift items such as T-Shirts, posters, custom jewelry, and more! What better way to fundraise for your entity than to offer your members products they will truly enjoy

Our book fairs last one week. Creativity and promotion are key to success! We suggest schools be creative and provide opportunities for the whole parish family to participate in these events. This includes parish ministries, Mass attending parishioners and Religious Education. Some schools have themed Parent’s Night or Grandparent’s Day as well as a special book signing event with an author.
We have items of all price range that students can afford with their own allowance, teachers can purchase for their classrooms, and parents can buy at reasonable prices!
We are always adding new releases, favorite best sellers and classics! Check our online store: www.GoodNewsBookShop.com.
We offer titles of multiple genres for Pre-K to 8Th Grade students. We highlight our AR Books! Yes, we offer gift items, not plastic trinkets, but inspirational and faith keepsakes! (Check our photo gallery for pictures). We can also schedule authors for book signing events which is so exciting for the students. We also offer rewards as a fundraiser for your school!
After all your questions are answered and book fair date is scheduled, we will send you a contract. We will schedule a meeting with your librarian or book fair chairperson to go over best practices for a successful event. Promo author videos, banners, yard signs and other promotional material will be sent to your school. We are committed to help you succeed!
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!

The main reason why I choose Good News Book Fair is that your company is in line with our mission and values at our school. I realize that you take the same efforts as do I, to supply only exceptional reading materials to our students therefore, I am confident that every book that goes into one of our students’ hands is a quality read. Parents and students are always excited when it is time for the Good News Book Fair. It is my privilege to host a Good News Book Fair at our school every year!
Julie Werner, Librarian, Everest Collegiate High School & Academy Clarkston, Michigan
Students at every grade level were able to select books not only to feed their interest level but guide them and inspire the to live the calling of their Catholic faith. Books were also available for our parents and grandparents. I strongly recommend this book fair.

Assumption Catholic School selected the Good News! Book Fair because we wanted to provide our students, parents, and the community with spiritual and wholesome materials that reflected our schools mission statement while providing engaging and relevant items ranging from books to games, and so much more!
Maryann Jimenez, Assumption Catholic School, Jacksonville, Florida
Good News! Book Fair was the vendor of choice. Not only did they have good Catholic books to choose from, but also other classics and literature that incorporated good values, thought and critical thinking for children of all ages.
Sr. Rosalie, Principal of St. Theresa Catholic School in Coral Gables, Florida
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.
Fr. Doug Brown at Mary Queen of Peace, Cleveland Ohio
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.
Mike Juhas, Superintendent Office for Catholic Schools for the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee
I wanted to have a book fair for our school community that would reflect the school and its mission. Good News! Book Fair was a great fit for us! They offer a wonderful selection of quality content that is engaging and informative for everyone- I don’t have to worry about the content in a student selection because all the books are clean reads!
Caroline Crouch, Librarian for Overbrook Academy, Nashville, Tennessee
I am gratified to learn that you are developing a solid business plan that would help map out a strategy to grow and to address that demand in other dioceses throughout the United States.
Most Rev. Thomas Wenski, Archbishop of Miami, November 2, 2017
Bringing the Good News! Book Fair to our community at Notre Dame was an honor! It was extremely refreshing to see Catholic Identity so well represented at a book fair. I recommend enthusiastically Good News! Book Fair to all our sister schools in the Diocese.
Florence Buono, Principal Notre Dame Catholic School, Spring Hill, Florida
Good News! Book Fair was a wonderful company to work with to provide our students, teachers and parents wonderfully wholesome books. Good News! Book Fair’s materials supports Everest Academy’s Christ-centered traditional Catholic education.
Susan Ender, Academy Principal Everest Collegiate High School & Academy, Clarkston, Michigan
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.
Mr. Scott Mason, Librarian St. Sebastian Parish School, Akron, Ohio
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.
