2020 JYJ Book Fair Online and In-Store with Quail Ridge Books We are trying something new for the Book Fair, which will run Dec. 4-13th. The PTA has partnered with Quail Ridge Books for an online and in-store book fair. The Joyner PTA will earn commission for online orders and in-store purchases of books that are in stock or readily available. Purchases can be made in store at 4209-100 Lassiter Mill Road in North Hills, Raleigh or online at quailridgebooks.com. Partnering with Quail Ridge Books allows you to shop from anywhere via the online option and we encourage you to share information about our fair with grandparents, aunt, uncles, cousins, and anyone else you know! Be sure to put “Joyner Book Fair” in the comments of their order during the fair and JYJ will earn a commission (while also supporting our local independent bookseller!). Shop for kids and adults too! Joyner Elementary School students, parents, staff and community members can order books and items online for pick-up at the store or to ship, and/or shop in store December 4-13. (For teachers, staff, parents and school community members who are in the Quail Ridge Readers Club and want their purchases to earn a commission for Joyner Elementary School, the Readers Club discount will not apply. Free gift wrap is available.) Questions? Contact Leslie De Haven (contact info in email).
