Spanish & Bilingual Book Fair Fundraiser
Our MiJa Books online book fairs are a great option for schools whose primary goal is to fundraise or for schools that are not in our Southern California service area for in-person book fairs. Your school will have access to thousands of titles on our website with a focus on BIPOC authors and diverse stories in various languages.
