In addition to any books they may want to buy, each child gets to choose two free books to take home.
The book fairs are a major undertaking and READ USA is looking for volunteers to assist with things, including helping students find books they are interested in, organizing and labeling, and administrative support.
Any adult volunteering at a DCPS school must pass a Level 1 background check, which the district provides for free through its website.
