One of the benefits of being on the rewards program is receiving free classroom projects for the books in your category. We want to remind you how you can best use these projects:
These projects are supposed to be used for in-store classes only. You may make copies of the project instructions to use in your class, but please make sure that they are returned to you before they leave your store. These projects are copyright protected and we have been lucky enough to receive permission from the author for promotional use. These projects are meant to help you promote the book so your customers will purchase it from your store. Each project comes with a materials list so you can purchase supplies ahead of time. We really want you to be successful in selling books and to have great class ideas to keep people coming into your store.
These projects are now available upon request. If you would like to use the projects, go to the Rewards Program web site and look up the books in your category.
