Time: 10:00 am – 9:00 pm

How to Participate: Purchase anything at Barnes & Noble. Just remember to say at the register you are with the book fair! A donation will not be made if you do not indicate you are with the fair. If you are purchasing online or at a non-host Barnes & Noble, you will have to use our Book Fair Number (12733986)

Mark your calendars because our annual book fair fundraiser is returning! On Friday, March 29th, you can treat yourself at any Barnes & Noble store near you and have a percentage of your purchase donated to Systems Unlimited. While you can shop at any Barnes & Noble, our host stores will be in Cedar Rapids and Iowa City! At these Barnes & Noble stores, we will have something fun and creative in store for everyone to enjoy.

Not only is this the perfect excuse to treat yourself to do good, but we will have some really amazing things set up at the Cedar Rapids and Iowa City stores. In both stores, while pursuing the bookshelves, you will be able to enjoy beautiful artwork made by the people we serve in our Day Programs! As you read this, there are people actively working on the art that will be on display during the event.

2023 Book Fair Systems Unlimited Fundraiser Coffee Beverage in Iowa CityNothing makes appreciating good art like a nice treat from the coffee shop. In the Barnes & Noble Coffee shop, you will find a special, one-of-a-kind beverage dreamed up by the imaginative minds of our day programs. Surely, those who attended last year remember the Iowa City drink ‘Puff’s Unicorn Potion’ and the Cedar Rapids drink ‘Winter Paradise’.  We anticipate the same magical drinks this year. Keep tuned as the 2024 beverages will be announced soon. Sip on this delightful creation as you immerse yourself in the world of books—it’s an experience you won’t soon forget!

Now, let’s talk about spreading joy and creativity through the act of giving! Our Day Programs in Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, and Monticello have curated wish lists brimming with items that could make a world of difference. From captivating books to spark the imagination to colorful Lego sets that promise endless creativity, your donations will not only bring smiles but also contribute to the noble cause of Systems Unlimited. And guess what? During our book fair, a percentage of the purchase of your item donation will also be joyously donated to Systems—talk about a win-win situation!

Want to participate in the book fair, but can’t make it to a book fair? No worries! You can do your shopping online from the comfort of your home at bn.com. When checking out, all you have to do is enter the bookfair ID: 12733986, and a percentage of the proceeds will be donated to Systems.
