​NOTE: Please do not donate damaged books with broken bindings, torn/missing pages, excessive highlighting, or notations.  We can not accept books that are soiled, musty, smelly, yellowed pages, moldy with smoke or water damage.  If the books you are donating are books that you would not give to a friend - please do not give them to us. It is a lot of work for our volunteers to have to dispose of books that can not be sold when they are not up to the standards of our sales. We appreciate your understanding.

The Mission of our Book Sale is to offer great reads at great prices to those in our community.  Per our policy of many years, we respectfully request that Book Sellers as well as any persons looking for books to use for resale, do not come to our Tuesday sales to purchase books for resale.  Booksellers may come on the second and/or third day of our larger multi day sales after twelve pm.  We thank you in advance for understanding and honoring this policy.
