Q. I placed an order for books children had bought will I still get them and if not and I have to refund will my Rewards be affected?
A. Due to the closure of the warehouse we are not able to fulfil your order currently.

If you wish to cancel any outstanding orders please email us on bookfairs@scholastic.ie.
Q. What do I do if my Rewards expire?
A. We will honour rewards expiring during the period of school closures.
Q: Is there any other way to offer parents/children books during this period?
A: Yes – you can still offer your parents and children access to great books during this time. You can set up a Scholastic digital Book Club and parents can order online and request delivery to home. You will still earn Rewards for your school on every order placed this way. For more details please go to: shop.scholastic.ie/bookclubs
