Parents can create a Book Fair eWallet for cash-free shopping. Convenient and secure, eWallet lets your child choose books they want to read. Plus, you can share your eWallet link so friends and family can help your child find even more to read. Unspent funds from a past Fair? To transfer them to this Fair, log in to your Scholastic account and create a new eWallet-then your previous balance will be available to transfer as an eGift Card. When you fund an eWallet, you can also contribute to Share the Fair, the giving program that benefits kids in your school who need help buying new books.
