Sr. Maria Guadalupe Hallee, O.P., the Principal at St. Isaac Jogues School in St. Clair Shores, MI (180 students), hosted an Ignatius Book Fair in February 2024.
“We had a great experience with Ignatius Book Fairs! We were looking for a book fair which would provide quality children’s books which had been thoroughly vetted, so that we could be confident in allowing our students to browse to find something they would like. The selection of books, the variety of authors and genres, and the assistance we received from the staff of Ignatius Book Fairs led to a very successful event! We raised a generous amount of money for books for our school library, and we received very positive reviews from our librarian, our parents, our teachers, our students, and our parishioners. We are already looking forward to our next Ignatius Book Fair!”
Joan Hill, Librarian at St. Anthony Catholic School in Columbus, TX (175 students), hosted an Ignatius Book Fair in February 2024.
“You gave the best advice to invite our parishioners after the weekend Masses to kick off the fair. Our CCE program is on Wednesday evenings and including them was a big hit.
Your customer service was outstanding! The books arrived in plenty of time to set up the fair in the library. Anytime that I had questions or a few issues, Ana answered me immediately and was so understanding and helpful.
Everyone was so impressed with the outstanding quality and selection of the books. It was so rewarding to see the parents excitement over books that they had read. Now they bought these books for their children. When our students joyfully bought books about our Catholic faith, we felt so blessed to be giving honor and glory to God. It was a great selection of books about the Catholic faith for children. It was more than saint books. Thank you again for providing a CATHOLIC book fair to a small Catholic school in Texas.”
Anna Cameron, Librarian at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic School in Tempe, Arizona, (450 students), hosted an Ignatius Book Fair in February 2024.
“My community and I LOVED the book fair and would like to host it again. I am also passing along your information to a few other Catholic schools in our diocese. We loved the quality of the books! LOVED them. In particular, we loved the books the Magnificat produces. There is a huge need and interest in vibrant, imaginative children’s picture books that teach virtue, our faith, and STORIES from the lives of the saints. I can’t thank you enough for your work to get these books into our hands. Our school and parish thanks you!”
Deborah Thomas, Principal at St. Louis School in Clarksville, Maryland (575 students), hosted an Ignatius Book Fair in March 2024.
“Our Ignatius Book Fair went very well. We were very pleased with the process and books. We will be hosting a fair again next year! God bless and thank you!”
Dr. Lisa Rochefort , Headmaster, Naples Classical Academy
At Naples Classical Academy, we had been waiting to find just the right kind of Book Fair that provided carefully curated wholesome fare for all ages. We found this elusive (these days) quality in Ignatius Book Fairs. The booking process was straightforward, and we were guided along the way by a dedicated Book Fair rep who supported us before, during, and after the event. Customer service was exceptional, and they provided all we needed for advertising and sales. Ave Dollars allowed us to purchase books to stock our classroom libraries with new books, and our faculty, staff, parents, and scholars all agree this event was a highlight in the academic year. We plan to host more Ignatius Book Fairs over the years.

Cindy Elsom, President Aristoi Cypress PTO
As an executive PTO board member, we have hosted several book fairs over the years. Working with Ignatius Book Fairs was a wonderful experience for us! We are a classical school and LOVE GOOD books! We have been disappointed with other vendors as they have supplied us with minimal classics for our book fair. When opening up the boxes from IBF to set up our book fair, all of our volunteers were giggling with excitement and ahhh'ing over the AMAZING selection that we received from IBF!
Parents were thrilled with the wonderful selection of titles and begged us to have IBF return for our next book fair. We can't wait for our next book fair and look forward to many more with IBF in the future. Thank you so much for providing GREAT books for our young scholars and their families!
