We are sending this communication to clarify some questions we have been receiving about setting up Book Fair eWallets...the easy cashless way to shop the fair. It seems that the WUE Book Fair link is directing users to a page that says "Shop with Book Fair eWallet at Brownstown Middle School". We want to assure you that even though the school name is wrong, We are getting the ewallets in the WUE Book Fair account when they are made through that link. There seems to be a glitch with the reconfiguration and renaming of the fair. We hope this clears up any questions. Thanks for shopping the WUE Book Fair.
