The estimated commitment for the organizer of this project is approximately 10 to 15 hours over the course of eight weeks. Plus, libraries or nursing homes can add to their collection if they can use some of the books not sold in the book sale. A used book sale provides affordable literature for readers of all ages and gives people the opportunity to clean out their bookshelves with already-read books. So why not organize or participate in a community used book sale? Proceeds from the sale can support an identified community need. Many individuals are looking for book bargains, and there are plenty of books collecting dust on a bookshelf that would make a great bedtime read for someone else. In addition, local libraries are often looking for more books to support their collection. Local community organizations often have a specific need that can be filled through a donation of money. Used book sales are also a wonderful opportunity to help others in need through the world of literature, while meeting folks in your community and having fun. The proceeds from used book sales can help provide funding for local community programs.
