Welcome to The Doylestown & Lahaska Bookshop's Book Fair page!
There are three ways your school can purchase books during your book fair week.
- Families can come into either the Doylestown or Lahaska Bookshops during your Book Fair week, give the school coupon code, and 20% of everything they purchase, book or non-book items, will count towards your school's earnings.
- Your families can visit www.doylestownbookshop.com and purchase any book or non-book item on our website, use the school’s coupon code, and 20% will go towards your school’s earnings.
- You can schedule an In-Store Book Fair to take place on a weekday evening, Monday through Wednesday, from 6:00-8:00 pm after we close the Bookshop to the public. Your school would be the only customers in the store during that time. Twenty percent of everything they purchase, book or non-book items, will count towards your school's earnings. Storytime readers, snacks, and raffles/games are welcome. Two bookshop staff will be on hand to ring up sales and answer questions. (Volunteers from your school are required to stand at the locked doors to let only your families into the Bookshop.)
At the end of your Book Fair week, your school’s sales from both of our stores, from the website, and the In-Store Book Fair, if you choose this option, will be totaled. Your school will get back 20% of the total book sales from the Book Fair as a check from the Doylestown Bookshop within two weeks of the end of your book fair. (It is important for your families to give your school code when making their purchases. This code can either be entered into the COUPON CODE section when checking out on our website, or you may let your bookseller know upon purchase in either store.)
The State of Pennsylvania requires that all online purchases pay the 6% sales tax. This will happen automatically when customers check out. Your school’s donation will be based on the pre-tax total of the book sales, as we pay the sales tax portion to the state.
Your school is responsible for the promotion of your Book Fair to your families and staff. We recommend that you begin promoting the Book Fair three weeks in advance of the fair.
