 PROFILE
Once upon a time, a company grew up to become one of the world's leading children's book publishers. Scholastic Corporation sells more than 250 million books ("Harry Potter, The Baby-Sitters Club") annually to children in the US and across the globe. Known for its school book clubs and fairs (Scholastic is a leading operator of both types of programs), the company also publishes magazines (for students and teachers), textbooks, and software; produces children's TV programming, videos, and films; and operates an educational online service for students, parents, and teachers. In addition, it owns "Encyclopedia Americana" publisher Grolier. The family of late founder Maurice Robinson owns more than 20% of Scholastic.
