Admission to the sale is free from Thursday, April 16th, through Sunday, April 19th. For customers’ convenience, the sale has weekday, weekend, and evening hours:

More than twenty thousand hardcover and softcover books, along with audiobooks, CDs, DVDs, and LPs, as well as jigsaw puzzles, will be available in good to excellent condition. The books are carefully sorted into categories, including fiction, history, biography, children’s books, science fiction, art, hobbies, travel, science, gardening, sports, cookbooks, and many more. Most items are priced between 50 cents and two dollars. Collectible and coffee table books are also attractively priced. On the final day of the sale, Sunday, April 19th, shoppers can purchase an entire bag of books for just $5 or $10, depending on the bag size.

The Book Sale is a vital community event and the primary fundraiser for the Summit College Club each year. Proceeds are used to provide college scholarships to deserving young women from local high schools who will be attending a 4-year college, and to women returning to a local community college after a break in their education.  Since its inception, the Foundation has awarded hundreds of scholarships totaling over $1 million, reinvesting those funds in the community.

 
Thanks to the generosity and interest of the local community, our book sale has thrived, even with the growing popularity of online alternatives to books and print media. Community members contribute by donating books and other media, as well as volunteering their time. The Summit College Club is especially grateful for the volunteers who help with various support tasks, including receiving and sorting books before the sale, assisting customers during the event, organizing the book sections, and cleaning up afterward.
