==Book fairs== [[File:Scholastic, Hyundai Translead trailer, Denver, CO 2025-07-02.jpg |thumb|A trailer advertising the Scholastic Book Fair in Denver, Colorado, seen in July 2025]]

Scholastic Book Fairs began in 1981. Scholastic provides book fair products to schools, which then conduct the book fairs. Schools can elect to receive books, supplies and equipment or a portion of the proceeds from the book fair.<ref>{{cite web |title=2023 Annual Report, page 9 |url=https://investor.scholastic.com/static-files/414247a6-7e68-42be-9b66-8db3ef40f330#page=9 |website=investor.scholastic.com |access-date=6 October 2023}}</ref>

In the United States, during fiscal 2024, revenue from the book fairs channel ($541.6 million) accounted for more than half of the company's revenue in the "Total Children's Book Publishing and Distribution" segment ($955.2 million),<ref>{{cite web |title=2024 Annual Report, page 54 |url=https://investor.scholastic.com/static-files/601c344b-0d7a-4a8c-8629-8a26ea648a6c#page=54 |website=investor.scholastic.com |access-date=29 September 2024}}</ref> and schools earned over $200 million in proceeds in cash and incentive credits.<ref>{{cite web |title=2024 Annual Report, page 14 |url=https://investor.scholastic.com/static-files/601c344b-0d7a-4a8c-8629-8a26ea648a6c#page=14 |website=investor.scholastic.com |access-date=29 September 2024}}</ref>

In October 2023, Scholastic created a separate category for books dealing with "race, LGBTQ and other issues related to diversity", allowing schools to opt out of carrying these types of books. Scholastic defended the move, citing legislation in multiple states seeking to ban books dealing with LGBTQ issues or race.<ref>{{cite news |title=Scholastic book fairs, a staple at U.S. schools, accused of excluding diverse books |url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/scholastic-book-fair-bigot-button-florida-law/ |last=Picchi |first=Aimee |work=CBS News |date=17 October 2023 |access-date=18 December 2023}}</ref> After public backlash from educators, authors, and free speech advocacy groups, Scholastic reversed course, saying the new category will be discontinued, writing: "It is unsettling that the current divisive landscape in the U.S. is creating an environment that could deny any child access to books, or that teachers could be penalized for creating access to all stories for their students".<ref>{{cite news |title=Scholastic backtracks, saying it will stop separating diverse books for fairs in 2024 |url=https://www.npr.org/2023/10/25/1208419749/scholastic-book-fair-diverse-stories-apology |last=Treisman |first=Rachel |work=NPR |date=25 October 2023 |access-date=18 December 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Scholastic reverses decision to separate books on race, gender and sexuality |url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/oct/25/scholastic-book-fair-reverse-race-gender-sexuality |last=Horton |first=Adrian |work=The Guardian |date=25 October 2023 |access-date=18 December 2023}}</ref>

Scholastic Book Fairs have been criticized for spurring unnecessary purchases, highlighting economic inequality among students, and disruption of school activities and facilities.<ref>{{cite news |title=Book Fairs & Their Equity Issues |url=https://dontyoushushme.com/2023/10/26/book-fairs-their-equity-issues/ |last=Bogan |first=Kelsey |date=26 October 2023 |access-date=30 September 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Scholastic Book Fairs: how the inequalities outweigh nostalgia |url=https://thecentraltrend.com/112815/opinion/scholastic-book-fairs-how-the-inequalities-outweigh-nostalgia/ |last=Kennedy|first=Meghan |date=6 December 2021 |access-date=30 September 2024}}</ref>

==Book clubs== Scholastic book clubs are offered at schools in many countries. Typically, teachers administer the program to the students in their own classes, but in some cases, the program is administered by a central contact for the entire school. Within Scholastic, Reading Clubs is a separate unit (compared to, e.g., Education). Reading clubs are arranged by age/grade.<ref>{{cite web |title=Our Businesses |url=https://www.scholastic.com/aboutscholastic/our-businesses/ |website=scholastic.com |access-date=10 June 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210607142001/https://www.scholastic.com/aboutscholastic/our-businesses/ |archive-date=2021-06-07}}</ref> Book club operators receive "Classroom Funds" redeemable only for Scholastic Corporation products.<ref>{{cite web |title=Terms & Services |url=https://www.scholastic.com/site/classroomfunds/terms.html |website=scholastic.com |access-date=10 June 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210404072436/https://www.scholastic.com/site/classroomfunds/terms.html |archive-date=2021-04-04}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Raise Classroom Funds |url=https://www.scholastic.com/content/educators/en/classroom-funds/funds-marketing.html |website=scholastic.com |access-date=10 June 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210428191225/https://www.scholastic.com/content/educators/en/classroom-funds/funds-marketing.html |archive-date=2021-04-28}}</ref><ref name="scholasticfaqs--Raising-Money-for-Your-Classroom">{{cite web |title=FAQ: Raising Money for Your Classroom |url=https://scholastic.force.com/scholasticfaqs/s/article/Raising-Money-for-Your-Classroom |website=Scholastic Corporation |publisher=Salesforce |access-date=10 June 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210610040337/https://scholastic.force.com/scholasticfaqs/s/article/Raising-Money-for-Your-Classroom |quote=Where can classroom funds be spent?
