Book Fair 2024 Information Page
Exciting News!
Our Book Fair is now supplied by renowned Brisbane bookstores Where the Wild Things Are and Avid Reader. We proudly present high-quality books for Prep-age to adults, games, stationery, and gifts.

All information is provided here for you!

We’re excited to invite you to our upcoming Book Fair. Hosted by Redlands College Library, this event is an opportunity for students of all ages to build their home libraries and further their love of reading. As always, all purchases benefit our school. More books means more choice, which means kids get to read the books they want to read. The right book can ignite a passion for reading, so we encourage families to work together to create a reading culture at home. Reading expands the mind and nourishes the imagination.

KEEPING $$$ SAFE!

 

1. Come to the Book Fair and use EFTPOS.

2. Pay Online:

For student and parenting/education books - Use wildschools.com.au

For Adult Books - use avidreader.com.au

In both sites, use the browse list on the left side of the page to find books, gifts, toys, games, stationery, etc. or use the search box at the top of the page to locate specific titles, authors or subjects.
Add items to your cart. Register or log in as a customer. Once you reach the delivery section, choose PICK UP and select Redlands College as your school. On the same page, ensure you type your child’s name and class or PC in the notes so items will be delivered to the classroom (Junior School) or be ready for pick up at the Library after the Book Fair (Middle/Senior School).

3. Cash—We strongly encourage online ordering or tapping your card for payment. If your Junior School child has cash, they could pay you to order their purchase online. Middle and Senior students may use cash at any time. Junior students must have their cash in a named ziplock bag and will only be served before school so they are not storing cash during the day. Any change must be given to their teacher in the named ziplock bag.
