How we choose the books at your Literati Book Fair.

At Literati Book Fairs, we know the magic happens when a young reader finds a book they are going to fall in love with. 

The book selections at Literati Book Fairs are intentionally designed to drive your school’s sales and introduce young readers to exciting new stories—including books they may not have found otherwise.

Our curation team reads widely to find compelling, well-crafted stories that will resonate with your students. Then we use data to examine sales trends and ensure the right amount of each title arrives at your fair.

This unique blend of data science and human insight has helped us create a more engaging book fair experience that inspires kids to become lifelong readers.

Our curators are experts in children’s literature. They read a lot of books, looking for an exciting mix of captivating ideas, beautiful illustrations, impactful themes, and relatable characters. Sometimes these are award-winning bestsellers—and sometimes they’re hidden gems from smaller publishers.

We select top-notch titles we believe will delight kids and broaden their horizons, helping them learn that great stories can come from anywhere. We work with more than 150 publishers to make sure students have the diverse selection they deserve. 

Every student ought to experience the thrill of discovery, which is why we focus on variety and access. Our book selection spans every genre and reading level and includes titles at affordable prices. As for our non-book selection, we only include reading and writing supplies (no toys or tchotchkes here!), which helps us keep the emphasis on reading.
