Another sale in the books! See what we did there? 😉

A huge thank you to everyone who volunteered their time to help make this sale happen, and an equally big thank you to everyone who came out to shop and stock up on books, puzzles, and more!

We will start accepting donations for the 2027 sale in just 47 weeks. Until then, happy reading, and we’ll see you next year!

Good morning, book sale shoppers! We're sharing Bridge View Center with the Walk to End Alzheimer's event this morning, but getting to the book sale couldn't be easier.

Follow the book sale signs all the way to the back wall of the Main Lobby, hang a right, and we're in the very first expo hall. You'll know it's us by the book arch photo station right outside the door.

See you today from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.!

Monopoly ... destroying relationships for almost 100 years.

There's more to the Pages for Pennies book sale than what the name would suggest! It's also the place to find great deals on games (like Monopoly), jigsaw puzzles, CDs, DVDs, LPs, audio books, and sheet music. Everyone will find something to enjoy.

The sale starts at Friday at noon at Bridge View Center and runs until 8 p.m. Then we're open Saturday from 9-5, and Sunday is Bag Day from 11-5. Fill one of our brown paper sacks for $10, then every sack after that is just $5.

We'll see you soon!

As we get closer to Pages for Pennies, we want to take a moment to give a HUGE shoutout to the people who help make this sale a reality.

Pages for Pennies doesn’t just happen. It takes a dedicated team of volunteers who spend weeks sorting through and organizing donations, setting up the room, working all three days of the sale, and then helping pack up everything that’s left afterward.

It truly takes a village, and we couldn’t do this sale without each and every one of you!

To all of our amazing volunteers: THANK YOU! We appreciate you more than you know!

12 Days! Help us fill this room!

The Pages for Pennies sorting room has been so busy for the past two weeks - and now we're down to 12 days of donations remaining!

If you have books you've already read, books your kids have outgrown, or a library's worth of titles you're ready to pass on to other readers, Pages for Pennies is the perfect way to get them into circulation. We also accept gently used CDs, DVDs, LPs, audio books, games, puzzles, and sheet music.

Donations can be dropped off in the carts in the Bridge View Center lobby during regular business hours tomorrow through September 18. Then we'll close donations and get ready for the sale - September 25-27.

Clear off your shelves and help make this our best sale ever!
