Mark your calendars for our 2026 All-School Book Fair: Treasured Tales from February 23-27 for all lower, middle and upper school students! This is sure to be a swashbuckling literary adventure where hidden gems await every reader!
Thanks to the treasure gathered at last year’s Book Fair, over 110 new titles were added to our shelves, including engaging novels, delightful picture books and plenty of high-interest nonfiction that our young readers are already enjoying. This year, we are again partnering with both Literati and Gramercy Books to provide selections for readers of all ages… and yes, even grownups!
All students are invited to browse and shop in the Middle School Library, with a special preview night on Friday, February 20, from 3:15-6:15 p.m., just before the fourth grade musical. There will be activity stations for our lower school buccaneers to enjoy while their grownups explore! In addition, we will host an after-school shopping opportunity on Tuesday, February 24, with the Book Fair open until 6:30 p.m., offering added flexibility for families.
Click here to sign up to volunteer. Volunteers may register for any available time slot, not only during their child’s scheduled class visit – and your support helps make this meaningful experience possible for our students.
Every purchase made at the Book Fair comes with a 15%-off coupon for the Viking Corner, valid in-store or online from February 20 through March 13, 2026 (some exclusions apply).
And on Thursday, February 26, all Vikings are encouraged to shop local and support Columbus Academy by visiting Gramercy Books on East Main Street in Bexley – simply mention Columbus Academy at checkout and 20% of your purchase will support our libraries.
Can’t wait until the end of February? Families may shop online now via the links listed below with either of our Book Fair partners, regardless of the age(s) of your child(ren).
*Be sure to enter Columbus Academy in the customer comments section and select in-store delivery to skip shipping fees!
Happy reading, Vikings!
