Books are Fun is an Amazing Program

Our school had an absolutely wonderful experience hosting our first Book Blast! From start to finish, the program was engaging, well-organized, and fun for everyone involved. The students were filled with excitement each day as they followed along with their treasure maps and learned how to earn amazing prizes. When book delivery day arrived, the joy on our students’ faces was priceless. As they opened their book packages, their smiles lit up the room, and they couldn’t wait to dive into their new stories! It was truly heartwarming to see their genuine excitement and love for reading grow right before our eyes. The Book Blast not only made reading fun, but it also helped ensure that every child took home brand-new books of their own. Knowing that we are helping our students build their personal libraries and foster a lifelong love for reading is an incredible feeling. We are so grateful for this wonderful program and look forward to participating again!

This was such a fun experience for the students and staff. The kids really loved the prizes and the books. They worked hard to get contributions so they could earn prizes and books. The teachers loved earning shopping sprees. This was one of the easiest events we have done and the work on the admin side was minimal.

Each year, our students and staff at UpRiver School eagerly look forward to participating in the Books Are Fun Book Blast! It has become one of our favorite school events that brings excitement, joy, and a love of reading to our campus. The energy and anticipation it creates among students is incredible, and it truly encourages them to see books as a fun and rewarding part of learning. Working with Shelby Eversole from Books Are Fun has been an absolute pleasure. She is incredibly responsive, enthusiastic, and welcoming. In fact, she is always ready to help with any questions we have. Shelby’s organization, communication, and positive attitude make the entire process smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. We are so grateful for her partnership and look forward to continuing this wonderful collaboration for years to come! Grateful for Shelby and Books Are Fun!

I had a wonderful time with this year's Book Blast. The students and parents were very excited for the prizes and to earn books. I had a fun time handing out the first 75 prizes and watching the kid's faces light up and how classmates cheered for each other. The Epic Treasure Chest winner and her mom were very shocked at the amount of prizes that the chest contained.

Every school should host a Book Blast!! This program is organized so seamlessly. There are never any doubts on what you should be doing to be successful. Everything is clearly laid out for you to have success. The kids absolutely love the prizes, and were so excited to receive their books! We will absolutely be doing this again next year. Pat was so helpful! Always willing to answer questions and very flexible with meeting times around our busy child care schedule! I cannot say enough positive things about this organization.

Our Book Blast experience was absolutely fantastic! The excitement and energy it brought to our school were contagious. Everything was organized so well, and it was incredibly easy to get started. Watching students get so involved and motivated to read was truly rewarding. The kids loved it! They were so excited to participate and thrilled to receive books of their own. It was heartwarming to see how proud they were to build their home libraries. Many of them couldn’t stop talking about the books they got and were eager to start reading right away. This program made a real impact by putting high-interest books directly into students’ hands. It helped boost their enthusiasm for reading and made them feel empowered as readers.

My book blast representative always answered all of my questions, made each step easy to understand and follow, and took care of every detail of the program. Books Are Fun live their mission to make building home libraries a joyful and successful mission.

We really loved the Book Blast experience at the Rose E. Schneider YMCA ELC! It was convenient, minimal work and the kids earned a bunch of books. I was nervous about pushing another fundraiser but the Book Blast Program kind of handles itself. The prizes the kids earned were so fun! One staff who has a child wanted the Burrito Blanket. She sent emails, just to receive that. She ended up earning her daughter's whole library and won the $100 shopping spree. I also love that Book Blast picks the winner so there is no chance for bias. I highly recommend giving it a try!

All correspondences that we shared were already prepared for us. The first round of prizes were shipped in advance to get us started right away. The students were so excited to participate and earn prizes and books. Best of all, they LOVED the treasure boxes that were given away to 3 lucky students. Everyone of our students has benefited from this program by earning at least 1 book from their book list. And, we had several teachers earn money to spend for their classrooms. I whole-heartedly recommened this fundraiser for all schools. It is already set up for you, easy to facilitate, and best of all the students benefit!

We had an outstanding experience working with Books Are Fun for our school fundraiser! Their team was professional, organized, and truly invested in helping us succeed. Our representative, Erin Kelly, was phenomenal! With their support, we raised over $60,000 worth of books—enough to provide 4,300 books for our students to take home and build their own personal libraries. Our original goal was to provide at least one book per student and to reach a 30% participation rate. Thanks to Books Are Fun, we far exceeded both goals—every student was able to receive four books, and we reached an incredible 73% participation rate! Our students and parents love the books, stating that this was one of the easiest fundraisers that they have participated in. Teachers are amazed by the quality of the books for each grade level and are already looking forward to participating again next year! This program not only supported literacy and a love for reading, but it also created excitement throughout our school community. We are so grateful for the opportunity to partner with Books Are Fun, and we highly recommend them to any school looking for a meaningful and impactful fundraiser.

They had an excellent time, and it really encouraged them to not only do it for themselves but for other students in their classes as well! They are extremely excited to be receiving their books (and of course the prizes) tomorrow when I am back in the building!

Parents LOVE this fundraiser because it is incredibly easy! Book Are Fun helps things run so smoothly that anyone can do it!

We enjoyed our first year with Book Blast and look forward to participating in the future. The children were excited about the prizes and it prompted a little bit of healthy competion with them. I was very pleased with the ease of this program. Many times extracurricular programs put additional stress on the administrators, but that was not the case with this program. I would definitely recommend this program to my peers.

Communication was timely and thorough, and all materials provided for families were clear, detailed, and easy to implement. Students were highly engaged throughout the process, especially with completing their treasure maps and earning prizes. Their excitement has only grown as we look forward to delivery day—perfectly timed to support summer reading. Overall, Book Blast provided a wonderful and easy opportunity to promote a love of reading and place a wide variety of books directly into the hands of our students.

We just finished our first Book Blast and it was a BLAST for sure! Our students were absolutely THRILLED when they got to open their free books and I wish you could have seen their faces! We did this program at the end of the school year because we wanted everyone to have at least one free book to take home to read over the Summer and this program delivered on that promise and it was so much fun to do! PLUS it was EASY and didn't require a lot of work on my part which is essential this time of the year when it is hectic and crazy. I worked with the best rep who walked me step by step through the program and was ALWAYS there for any questions I had for her. I would definitely recommend Book Blast to all schools! Such an easy program to run and such a rewarding experience for the students! I've already scheduled our school to do this again next year!

This is the 2nd year that our school has participated in the Book Blast program. It was AMAZING! One of the most organized and easy programs I have done. Everything was there for me and our rep was wonderful. The prizes were quality and the students absolutely LOVED them, especially the monkey hat. Students were excited about the program. I got stopped by students often letting me know that they completed the Treasure Map or asking when the books would be here. The thing I love the most is that EVERY student in our building received a book. Quality books in the hands of our students helps build reading skills, but those same books that the student owns helps build a love of reading.

Shelby has been the very best person I’ve ever worked with in regards to reading!

Jori is the most pleasant, energetic, friendly, helpful person. I was unsure about trying the Book Blast, but Jori assured me there was nothing to worry about, that our school would rock this and we did!! She made made everything go so smooth. All the kids were so excited to get there treasure maps and earn a change to win prizes. In the end it was fantastic to see all the books every student was able to take home for their own personal library. It's an awesome program!! We can't wait to do it again!

The Books Are Fun Book Blast program has been a wonderful experience for my students over the past three years. As the librarian of a small rural school, I understand the importance of getting books in the hands of kids, who often come from families unable to afford purchasing books for their child's own home library. Books Are Fun allows every child to walk away with free books, and the prizes that are given out throughout the program are amazing. I highly recommend that every school partner with this organization and host a Book Blast every year!

The book blast was amazing! This was our first year working with Books are Fun and we had such a great turn out. It does take a little work to hype the books up and get everyone excited for it, but that is one of the #1 jobs as the librarian anyways. The program ran well, we had very few issues and any issue was easily solved from the help of Jori who was amazing and went above and beyond to help our school be as successful as it can be. I loved how no matter what EVERYONE was able to get a book, and all of the books were such great quality. I think it was wonderful too that in order for kids to receive their prizes all they had to do was send out invites and it didn't matter how much $$ was raised by them which is very different than most fundraisers. I was able to earn each teacher in the school a shopping spree which they all loved, especially with the quality of the books being so good as well as earn some money and more books for our library! I cannot recommend this program enough. The excitement from all of the kids about getting a book warmed this librarians heart. It's getting harder and harder every year to get books in kids hands and off their devices and away from screens but this helped so much! I've had so many kids not only coming up to thank me but tell me how far along they are in their new books everyday! I loved how organized everything was and how I was kept in constant communication during to be able to keep track of how we were doing. I would recommend this program to everyone! Our school got over 800 brand new, relevant, and amazing quality books in each and every kids hands! I'm so excited to do this with the kids each and every year!

Our representative Scott guided us through every step to ensure our school was successful with the event. It was fun and easy to manage while also managing the craziness and unpredictable days of a day school. Our parents also enjoyed the quick and easy steps it took on their end. I am so glad that our school found a fundraiser that truly gives 100% back to the children. I would highly recommend to every school and childcare facility. We had such an amazing experience and already have our Book Blast date set up for next year!

Working with Ivy from 'Books Are Fun' has been a great experience. This event is not only educational for our students in order to get them appropriate reading material for their at home libraries but also super easy on the administration and teachers behalf's. They make sure to break everything down so that you are able to participate in the event and it not take away from running your facility. Our center absolutely enjoyed it and we can't wait until next year to do it again.

Our Book Blast experience is always exceptional. This is my 4th year working with Books Are Fun, and every year there is something new and exciting for the teachers and students. But the process only gets easier each year for our staff - this is by far the most organized and stress-free program we work with each year. Our students love the participation prizes and giveaways, and eagerly await their book deliveries each year. This program makes reading what it always should be viewed as - a CELEBRATION! We are so thankful for our account manager and all that this program has provided for our school and students each year.

I am a first time librarian and I was a little nervous when I found out we were doing a Book Blast this year! I didn't know what to expect and I was worried I might be overwhelmed. I soon found out there was nothing to worry about and all my fears were gone. This is such an easy program to do. You have a meeting with your rep to set up the initial steps and you are able to reach them by email anytime for questions or concerns. You receive step by step instructions before the kick off and then you receive an email daily on what you need to do. Everything is laid out for you every step of the way. Our kiddos were excited with the three free prizes for sending out 10 emails and the daily treasure chest and ipad drawing. The teachers all have a chance to get $100 or $200 shopping sprees for their classrooms. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone who loves to see children read and get excited about getting a new book to call their very own. We already have ours scheduled for next year! Get your school signed up-you won't be sorry!

This year the Live launch got our students excited at the start of Book Blast. The prize announcement during the week motivated the students to complete their maps. When Book Blast came to a close students wanted to know when the books would be arriving. This program is a step in building a home library for all students in our school. Students now have a personal collection of books they can access at anytime.

The company made it so clear and simple that I as able to do it at both schools, at the same time, with no problems at all. My students loved it! The prizes were awesome. Students were excited to participate and ended up going home with more than 1400 books. I have already scheduled it for next year at both schools.

My students were excited about the program and came every morning to see if they had earned their prizes. The winners of the Treasure Chests and the iPad were ecstatic to have won the big prizes. It's heart-warming to see the students unwrap their books and get excited about reading over the summer.

I had no idea about Books Are Fun before hosting the event at my school. I was overwhelmed at how well it went! We raised far more money then I would have expected and were able to get almost 600 free books! Giving away the prizes, treasure chests, and IPad really got our whole school excited. I loved that everything was so easy to do on the admin side. I only had a few questions during the event and our rep Regina Pair answered all my questions right away. She even responded after business hours and helped guide me through where docs were located at. This was the easiest way I've ever got free books for a whole school!

Our school wanted to try and keep from having such a huge "summer slide" with our students, so we didn't want it to be because we didn't try or give them the resources. Book Blast was the perfect fit to help us try and combat that! When I first heard about it, I thought to myself, "There's got to be a catch because nothing is this good and easy!" Let me clear the air: YES, THERE IS SOMETHING THAT GOOD AND EASY!

Book Blast was exactly what we were looking for! When I first started at this school I was shocked and saddened at how often the students would express their lack of books at home. One of the our goals as a Title 1 school is to make sure all of our students have an at home library . This program allows students to get excited about books and experience things which they have never seen, like a $2 dollar bill or 50 cent piece. This is the first year that our school has done the program, and we are all very excited to continue working with this amazing program in the future!

Book Blast is all about putting books into the hands of children to build their at-home libraries. In addition to the books, the students get so excited about the Treasure Chest which is filled with fun things like fake gems, beaded necklaces and real money! Yes, real money - $2 bills, 50-cent pieces. They all want a chance to win! Thank you Books Are Fun for this amazing program. We are looking forward to another Book Blast next year!

There is work, but they have everything you need, you just have to copy, paste and move on, but you can definitely use the information they send to customize and fit your school's need or atmosphere. The success our school had from this fund-raising promotion was very rewarding and definitely has our school signing up to participate again next year. Book Blast provides an opportunity for our little ones to earn books to either start or expand their home libraries and we are all for that! We would encourage schools to participate, plenty to gain, nothing to lose!

The kids were competitive and were excited to receive the daily prizes. Im so excited that every student is going to get a book, even the few who did not register. However, we did earn over $3000 in books. We are a very small school so this amount of money for a community our size is great. I would recommend it to any school.

We ended up having 60% of our students participate. All students were excited about getting books, excited about the student prizes for completing their treasure maps, excited about the four treasure chests given away, and the iPad give away. Their enthusiasm was infectious and spread to other students every day. We also had a number of teachers who earned the $100.00 shopping spree through the Books Are Fun site. We want our students to have books in their hands. We want to do what we can to foster a love for Reading. The Book Blast Event helped us to encourage our students, and to make that happen. Because of this years success, we have scheduled Book Blast for the same time next year. I anticipate it to bigger and better than ever!

I have been doing the Book Blast for two years at Southwestern Elementary School. My experience with them has been positive. The program itself is designed to be easy to implement, providing explicit directions for facilitators to follow. It ensures that every student in the school receives grade-level books personalized to their needs. Furthermore, the program offers tangible rewards for students as they achieve milestones, such as reaching ten names. The students love the program. Book Blast helped create a positive impact on the educational journey of our students by adding books to the students' home libraries. As an added incentive, teachers have the opportunity to win spending spree money based on student participation, encouraging active engagement and enthusiasm in the program. I am pleased to share that Jori Pair has been a fantastic addition to our school community. She is easy to work with and has been instrumental in enhancing our students' learning experiences.

Book Blast is a Blast! Our kids are so excited to receive their books. This is our second year doing Book Blast. We have been very impressed with the quality of books the students receive. We are excited this year to have our students receive at least 2 books each. The kids were also very thrilled with their prizes. 10/12 teachers earned their Books are Fun gift certificates for books and supplies for their classroom.

In a world where reading a book for pleasure competes with all kinds of technology for a child's attention and time, most children choose technology. But thanks to Book Blast technology may be loosing ground. Every student at GHS received two or more new, age-appropriate books to add to their home libraries and our school won a $700 shopping spree to purchase supplies. Our students loved the prizes they received for participating. They actually listened to the morning announcements because they were so excited to find out who won the iPad and the four treasure chests. The program was amazing and not alot of extra work. Book Blast will definitely get your students excited about books.

As an elementary school librarian, I have never seen the kids get so amped up about books and reading.

We look forward to our next Book Blast adventure next year.

This program allows students to get excited about books and experience things which they have never seen, like a $2 dollar bill or 50 cent piece.

Our students earned enough to each get 2 books at a minimum, but some earned up to 10 books. That was on top of the treasure chests full of money and goodies and an ipad that we got to raffle off. Students also earned 3 rewards/prizes just for participating! The students loved all the prizes and I know they will love the books too. I cannot believe we have 2000 books coming our way!

Book Blast was possibly the easiest and most rewarding program we have ever done. All "scripts" for announcements of prizes and energizing participation were literally emailed to us daily. All reports were also daily emailed to us to forward to teachers, engaging them in the process fully. Prizes were fantastic. Students were engaged and eager to participate. Teachers that started off reluctant, became more and more engaged throughout the week. We earned far more shopping sprees and books that we had originally anticipated in our tiny school. It was truly a fantastic program that we look forward to doing again. All enjoyed it immensely! Thank you, Books are Fun!

I didn't dream that our Book Blast would be so successful! I know our students were each guaranteed at least one book, but I could never imagined that our community's support would allow every child FIVE books and many children earned all 10 books on their "bookshelf". Three teachers earned shopping sprees and 48 children earned prizes. They were most excited about the "Ninja monkeys"! The treasure boxes were a huge hit - the four winners were thrilled to see real cash among the jewels and trinkets! Children approach me in the hallways to ask how others are doing with their Treasure Maps and are anciously awaiting the arrival of their books. Our teachers are excited about planning an event for Book Delivery Day.

I didn't dream that our Book Blast would be so successful! I know our students were each guaranteed at least one book, but I could never imagined that our community's support would allow every child FIVE books and many children earned all 10 books on their "bookshelf". Three teachers earned shopping sprees and 48 children earned prizes. They were most excited about the "Ninja monkeys"! The treasure boxes were a huge hit - the four winners were thrilled to see real cash among the jewels and trinkets! Children approach me in the hallways to ask how others are doing with their Treasure Maps and are anciously awaiting the arrival of their books. Our teachers are excited about planning an event for Book Delivery Day.

The number one thing I enjoy about the Book Blast is handing out the prizes. I love having immediate access to someone to ask questions if I need help. It's like you are waiting to answer my questions immediately.

Book Blast was a great way to kick-off our year of literacy! Kids loved the books and rewards, and it was so easy to do! The support from Liz and the crew was phenomenal, and it did not add one more thing to my plate.

This program is fantastic! It's a great way to get books in EVERY student's hands! As a librarian, I don't have a lot of free time throughout the day for a fundraiser. Book Blast does so much of the work that it makes my life easier and less stressful! Super thankful we stumbled onto this great program!

"This program was one of the easiest programs I have ever participated in! The support from the Book Blast company was top notch. Everything to make your Book Blast a success was completed and provided to you, including the participation prizes, cash-filled Treasure Boxes, and iPad. Plus, knowing that ALL of my students would benefit from this program by receiving their very own BOOKS made the decision to participate even easier. I'm excited to say that I have already booked next year's Book Blast!!"

Our school enjoyed our first ever Book Blast event. The students were so excited to see who won the prizes over the first week. As the person in charge of the event at our school, I liked how prizes were delivered up front, being emailed daily with donation updates, and the pre scripted social media and announcement scripts. We are so happy that we are able to see every student enjoy at least one book!

Running the book blast was a great experience for our school to get the parents and guardians excited for their child to receive not only books for their home library but also the fun rewards as well as getting the children excited to win a treasure chest and/or an iPad.

The Books are Fun is an amazing way to get books into the homes of all our students. I have never worked with a company that is so efficient and beyond helpful and most importantly true to their word. The company has streamlined everything and makes it so easy for the program coordinator at the school level. Book Blast is all about the students, staff, and the community that we serve.

The Book Blast program was amazing! The company did all the work! I literally sent in a student/teacher class roster and they did the rest. I received an e-mail every morning with step-by-step instructions on what to post for social media, templates on what to post, and even an updated prize list so I knew who to distribute prizes too. It was so user friendly, and Jori was available every step of the way. Now that I know what to expect, I look forward to making an even bigger impact next year! Our students were super excited, and our parents and the community were so supportive. I couldn't believe we raised over $3,000 in just two weeks! This is an easy, inexpensive way to get books into the hands of your students! We loved it!
