And now grandparents, friends, and others can contribute to the eWallet to help build your home library! After the Fair, remaining eWallet funds are not returned to a credit card but instead, become a gift card balance that can be used online with Scholastic or to fund an eWallet for a future Book Fair. 
• We also accept cash and checks payable to: Forts Ferry PTA
• Shop Online: Experience the Book Fair fun by visiting our Book Fair online! You can shop over 6,000 products — and all orders ship direct to your home (with free shipping on book-only orders over $25*)!
