Love My Library Disrupts the Traditional Book Fair Model and Challenges Scholastic's Dominance in the Market

Librarians Across the Country Join the LML Movement to Accelerate Funding and Reading


Mansfield, TX, Nov. 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In a groundbreaking departure from the status quo, Love My Library ("LML"), home to the reimagined book fair, has ignited a movement, challenging the long-standing dominance of Scholastic in the book fair market.

“Scholastic's stronghold on the educational book fair market has left educators and administrators with limited options, fostering a sense of frustration that resonates through classrooms and libraries,” said Toby Cunningham, CEO of Read-A-Thon Fundraising. “Recognizing this pent-up demand for change, Love My Library introduces an alternative that caters to the diverse needs of schools, breaking free from the constraints of the Scholastic control.
