62nd Annual Book Sale ~ April 24-25-26, 2025
Fairlawn’s 62nd Annual Book Sale is asking for your help.
Volunteer for a three-hour shift, connect with other Fairlawners and community members, and help ensure the success of this year’s book sale!
We need people to put out books on Wednesday, April 23rd; cashiers, floaters & security during the sale that takes place from Thursday, April 24th to Saturday, April 26th; a cleanup crew on Saturday from 1 to 4pm; and treat providers for all four days. Youth volunteers are needed on Wednesday from 3:30 to 6pm to move boxes of books to display areas and to help with cleanup on Saturday afternoon.
Donation Drop-off and Pick-up Notes:
Starting Sunday, January 5, and until Monday, April 7, we look forward to accepting your donations of gently used books, DVDs, CDs and albums to our west entrance/ main lobby:
- Monday to Friday between 10:00am – 4:00pm
- Sunday between 12:00pm – 2:00pm
We value your contributions that are in saleable condition. Unfortunately, we cannot accept atlases, dictionaries, encylopedias, magazines, Reader’s Digest Condensed Books, text books, cassettes, VHS tapes or musty-smelling items. If possible, please pack books carefully in bankers boxes or liquor store boxes rather than plastic or paper bags to ensure pages and covers remain flat.
Items left outside by any of our entrances, exposed to weather
and wildlife, will be discarded.
