Chatsworth Book Fair

June 2-5, 2026

We are using Best Book Fairs, the same wonderful vendor we used in fall. You can count on no toys, no trinkets, just lots and lots of top quality books. We’re basically bringing an indie bookstore right to Chatsworth. Our vendor is a New England-based small business, and we are excited to partner with them! 

This is a great time to stock up for summer reading! Keep reading skills sharp and boredom at bay with books! Don’t panic buy from Amazon right before you head into summer vacation, pick out something terrific now. Find something your child will love and support Chat.

Fifth grade parents, we will again have a display of books recommended by Hommocks Middle School as summer reading. 

DID YOU KNOW?

The Book Fair is a HUGE fundraiser for our school! Up to 25% of each book sold goes directly to the Chatsworth Ave PTA — all supporting the great programs and projects that make our school special.
