^{About Great Northern Books}

Ron and Barb Scherry, owners of Great Northern Book Co., a Montana business, will be providing the upcoming book fair for our school. The Scherrys were well-known educators in Montana before retiring and buying the company in 2000. This reading event will offer students, parents, teachers, and members of the community the opportunity to see the latest works by popular authors and illustrators of books for children and young adults. Along with winners of state and national awards, the book fair will present hundreds of titles selected to excite and motivate students to become lifelong readers and to promote family literacy. Special attention is given to find books that will appeal to the emergent, the experienced, and the reluctant reader. Books for all members of the family will be available, from birth through adult.

The Scherrys read thousands of books each year in order to choose the best titles to offer to educators and students. Their company has accounts with many publishers, including state and regional publishers, as well as national publishers. They give book talks to the students and staff to introduce them to the books appropriate for their reading level.
