Mrs. Nelson's Book Fair Company offers an excellent way for students, parents and teachers to see a multitude of books in a store-like setting, right on your own campus! We provide book fairs for preschools, elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, private/religious schools and teacher conferences.

- School book fairs. Our fairs usually take place over a one week period (but can go longer, depending on your needs and our availability) and are run by parent volunteers. Your Mrs. Nelson's representative will pack your fair, assist with the set-up and take-down and restock your fair as needed.
