I love the book sale! How can I help?

Looking to lend a hand with this year’s book sale? There are many ways you can help CCM have a successful sale:

DONATE. Doing some winter cleaning? We’re happy to include your unwanted books, movies and music in the sale so they can find new homes! Your donated items allow us to raise funds for new library materials.

Due to the volume of materials CCM has received this year, we will NOT be accepting book donations after Feb. 15. Donations may be made at CCM Edgewood only. Please see the donation policy below.

CCM will begin accepting donations for next year’s book sale in April.

VOLUNTEER. An event of this size requires many helping hands! We will need volunteers to help set up for the sale and clean up afterwards. If you’re interested in volunteering, sign up at CCM Edgewood or email Sharon Parrish at parrishs@einetwork.net.

SHARE. Let your friends and family know about the book sale! Follow CCM on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter and share our event and posts about the book sale. Take some flyers and post them in your neighborhood. Tell your neighbor, your barista, your mail carrier, your Uber driver… help us get the word out about this great event!

SHOP. Shop the sale on any of the five sale days. Come on Saturday and Sunday to get the best selection or wait until Monday and Tuesday to get a bargain at the bag sale!
