Educator Holiday Event/San Bruno Education Foundation Bookfair

Let your holiday shopping give back to San Bruno Schools!  On December 3rd, the San Bruno Education Foundation is hosting a Bookfair, to support San Bruno Park School Disctrict schools, at Barnes & Noble in the Shops at Tanforan. 

Educators get a special treat this day- in support of our Holiday Educator Shopping Event, we will open the store one hour early, at 9 AM, to EDUCATORS ONLY.  Enjoy an hour of shopping without crowds, complimentary coffee and breakfast pastries from our Cafe, and save 25% off books and 10% off music and movies with your B&N Educator Discount Card.  Get exclusive early access to the newly expanded Educational Toys & Games department, and shop for classrooms or for your own holiday gift-giving, knowing that your purchases will also help support programs in the local schools with this Bookfair's fundraising efforts!

Starting at 10 AM, come see San Bruno students perform and showcase their talents throughout the store, keeping everyone in the Holiday spirit while they shop!  Purchases made in support of the Bookfair add up to higher fundraising returns for the Foundation.  It doesn't cost anything extra- just let the cashiers know you wish to support the Bookfair at the time of your regular purchase, and it's done!  Purchases throughout the store all count- so come enjoy a tasty treat from our cafe, or pick up the latest music or movie you know is on someone's wish list, and know you are helping to support local schools!

San Bruno Education Foundation will be providing complimentary gift wrap services for customers throughout the day, there will be special story times for children's entertainment, music performances, an exhibition of student artwork, and an opportunity to meet local young adult fiction author Peter Adler from 1 PM to 4 PM.  It's a great time to get those gift lists taken care of, and give back to the community for the holidays!
