Welcome!

St. John School and CDC are hosting an online and in store book fair at Chapters Books & Gifts October 10-12, 2023. Purchases at Chapters store on Seward's downtown square will earn free books for the Seward Elementary School library.

For your shopping convenience, Chapters will be open late on Tuesday, October 10. Shopping hours during the book fair will be:

• Tuesday, October 10, 9 am - 7 pm
• Wednesday and Thursday, October 11 and 12, 9 am - 5:30 pm

Paige will be at the CDC from 6:30-7:30 pm October 12!

Don't miss storytime with a special guest Tuesday at 5:30 pm!

Purchases by friends of your school from Chapters' online store October 9-14 will also count toward free books for your school library.

Be sure to check out the Teacher Wish Lists/Library Wish List if your school's staff has created them. Purchase books from these lists to donate to your school. Your purchase will also earn credit toward more free books!

For any books to be delivered to your school, choose "Pick up in store" as your shipping option. When you place your order, leave a note in the comments with your child's name, teacher, and school, so we can deliver your books and credit your purchase. If there's anything else we need to know (such as that your purchase contains gifts, or who should be listed as the donor for books purchased from teacher wish lists, for instance), leave that in the comments, too.

Encourage out of town relatives and friends to purchase books during your school's book fair. We'll ship their books to them and count their purchase toward your school's book fair. All they need to do is indicate in the comments what school their purchase should support.

Please note, sometimes buyers have difficulty with pop ups when using our online store on a phone, and some browsers work better than others. If you're having trouble completing your purchase, try a computer or a different browser. If you're still having trouble, email us, and we're happy to help complete your purchase.
