Catholic Book Fair Toolkit

Thank you for choosing the Marian Center of Milwaukee to be the provider of materials for your Catholic Book Fair.

To make your event run as smoothly as possible, we have created a series of commonly used documents which you may use as a starting point to develop your own materials, or download and print as needed. Unless otherwise specified, these documents are in PDF format and will require the Adobe Acrobat Reader to be installed on your computer. The free plugin is available at www.adobe.com. Some items will open in a new window.
