Registering Materials for Sale
You can register your material for sale online here. The only supplies you will need are plain printer paper and scotch tape. The online software will print your labels with title, price, grade level, category, and barcode – two labels per book. All you do is print out the labels, cut them apart, and affix one on the outside and one on the inside of your book with scotch tape. It’s fast and easy!
Online material registration will be available soon. All material for sale must be pre-registered by June 20th at 12 noon.

Buying Used Materials
You will be admitted to the Used Curriculum Exchange between 12:15 and 6 p.m. on Friday and from 9:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Saturday. Shopping times will be assigned in the order the registration is received. The sooner you register, the earlier shopping time block you will be assigned.
Conference volunteers shop first, then those attending the conference will be assigned time blocks based on how soon they register. The sooner you register, the earlier you’ll shop. Everyone will get a chance to shop.
