Welcome to the admin Hub

Everything you need for your upcoming book fair.

Announcement: Your book fair is open one extra day

We’re extending the book fair for one more day—it will now close on Monday, March 10th at 11:59 PM EST. We know weekends can be busy, and we want to give you one last opportunity to remind your students to purchase books and raise those last few dollars for your school. This extension also allows you to have extra time on Monday to review your orders before the fair officially ends. Download the below pdf and email or print and hand out to your students to let them know! Thank you for all your hard work in making this fair a success!

Book fair admins, we are here to help!

Our goal is to help you feel confident running your Ready, Let’s Read book fair. The admin hub is your home base for all tutorials, explanations, promotion materials, and more!

Let’s start from the beginning!

Ready, Let’s Read is an online Christian book fair and fundraiser in one! Founded with a mission to provide a book fair that’s easy to manage and rooted in a Biblical worldview, Ready, Let’s Read takes the guesswork out of selecting appropriate books for your students. We carefully curate a collection of hundreds of titles for the whole family, ranging from beloved classics to exciting new releases, ensuring they align with your values and are books you can trust.

How does the book fair work?

To start your book fair process you need to first sign up for a free account. Carefully fill out the form on the home page, providing us with all of the information we need to create your school’s unique online book fair. Once you have filled out the form you will be sent two emails: one to confirm your registration for the book fair, and the other to verify your admin account (if you did not receive this email please reach out to info@palmettofortis.com and we will resend it to you!)
Once you have registered for your book fair the only thing you have left to do is preview the materials and prepare your students and parents for the upcoming book fair! In January you will be sent a link to preview the list of titles that will be available on your book fair so you can feel confident about the books that will be offered to your students once the book fair unlocks. If you are signed up before January 23rd you will be mailed book fair flyers to hand out to your students. A digital copy will be available in the book fair materials section on the Admin Hub for those who missed the deadline or who need extras. In this section there will also be posters you can print out and display around the school, graphics you can post on your school’s social media, and many other materials to help you get the word out! All of these materials will be coming soon so keep an eye out!
The book fair is finally here! Continue to remind your students and their parents to shop your book fair. Remember, you will receive 10% cash back on book fair totals under $1,000 and 20% cash back on book fair totals over $1,000. Ready, Let’s Read will be sending you an email that you can forward to your students/parents every day that the book fair is open. If you are unable to forward emails to your students you can use the “Email PDFs” from the Book Fair Materials section and attach them in an email or newsletter instead.
While the book fair window is open you can check your school’s total on your admin profile by clicking the person icon in the top right corner on your school’s book fair. There you can see every order placed under your book fair and calculate your cash back total.
REMINDER: You can place your own order for your school under your school account and get cash back on that purchase as well! Buy books for your school library or even your personal library!
Once the book fair closes on March 9th our team will begin packing your boxes. Shipping takes about a month, and you can expect your books to arrive before Easter. We will also mail you a check around the same time your books are arriving with the cash back you earned from your book fair.
Once your books arrive, all that is left is to hand out the book fair orders! One of your boxes will include a spreadsheet listing all orders placed by your school. You'll also find a packing sheet for each student who placed an order, listing the details of his or her order, along with a bag for you to place the student’s books in. Once your orders are sorted, simply hand out the books to those who ordered.

We’ve created these email PDFs to help you easily share a variety of book fair products and to help you remind your parents and students about your book fair. We suggest sending the PDFs one at a time through your school's communication system. Each PDF links to the school search page, allowing recipients to easily find your school's book fair. Not sure when to send them? Check out our content calendar above for suggested dates and additional promotion tips throughout the book fair window!

Don’t have a school communication system? We’ll send each of the emails below to the email address associated with your account during the book fair window. You can simply forward them to your parent/student list—they’ll already be linked to your unique book fair for easy shopping!
