My kids absolutely LOVE LITERATI!!!! It’s the best and such an easy company to work with. My kids get SO EXCITED when they see the box each month. Thank you!!

I Love this book subscription for my 4 children!!! It’s so easy to receive and return the books that are unwanted. My kids love the variety and unique books that show up every month. What originally started as a Christmas gift has become a permanent surprise in our home, that our family Looks forward to monthly!!

This is my second year in a row doing Literati Book Fairs. Book fair set ups are generally exhausting and in the past a lot of our volunteers have complained, but literati has made this experience so much easier and more enjoyable for everyone. Their online tools are a lot simpler and their modern approach is much appreciated. Our kids loved the books and I personally loved seeing options that weren’t the same generic books I see at Walmart that everyone has. It feels like this is a company that genuinely loves books, and that makes me happy.

Shopping the book fair with my grandson and granddaughter on Grandparents Day was such a joy. The treasure decorations made it feel like a fun adventure, and the kids were thrilled with the book choices. I loved that everything was books, no toys - so I didn't have to say "no". A grandparent never wants to do that! We left with happy kids, great books and wonderful memories.

We've been doing Literati fairs for 2 years now. Prior to that we were with another company and it was exhausting. I don't think people get how physically draining it is to set these up and how many volunteers burn out. I'm so glad we found Literati, who has seriously improved the experience. The digital tools to manage the fair are WAY better and way more modern- "nostalgia" is no excuse to make school volunteers work harder than we need to. We had record sales this year and actually had fun doing it!

Last year, my son came home from school with the most unexpected and wonderful gift… a Literati box full of books from his favorite basketball player of all time, Steph Curry. Steph and his wife gave Literati books to the children in the Oakland Unified School District, where over 88% of the student population receives reduced-priced lunches. Steph is a local hero, and this gift was no ordinary gift. The box itself was beautifully branded and durable. Inside, it was full of a variety of age-appropriate books that were well-curated, interesting and high-quality. For me, it felt like finding a unique treasure. One of the books in particular, “Size Wize”, was such a hit, my son still reads it over a year later. He references it for his homework assignments on nonfiction. He’s become quite the expert on animals as a result. We moved away from Oakland into a different school district this year that unfortunately uses Scholastic for its book fairs. When my son came home from that fair with a cheap slime toy and yet another graphic novel full of cartoons and hardly any words, I was so disappointed. I’m now on a mission to try and get his school to switch to Literati book fairs. The quality is so much higher and I want to do everything I can to recreate that special moment my son had with his Literati gift. Instilling a passion for reading in our children, especially our boys, is priceless.

We made the switch to Literati a year ago and have had 2 book fairs with a third one scheduled later this spring. They are very customer service oriented. My sales rep was always available and the pre-planning meeting you have is invaluable to learn about new or upcoming events. Take advantage of their webinars and videos prior to your fair. The technology was easily set up and worked so well for the entire fair. Making the switch has been the best change we ever made.

We've hosted Literati fairs for three years now, and each one runs more smoothly than the last. The consistency matters- I know what to expect, the set up is easy, and our families look forward to it every year. What I appreciate most is that Literati focuses on real books, not trinkets and toys masquerading as a book fair.
