Annual Dayton Book Fair Sale is This Weekend

This is the weekend Dayton Book Fair holds its annual book sale.  They collect books all year long and with the help of lots of volunteers they set up a 4 day event at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds that encourages book lovers to come shop from the 50 tons of books.  Oh we should also mention-they also have vinyl, movies, jigsaw puzzles, board games, holiday items and more. Books are broken down into 85 categories to help you find books that interest you. There are tons of children’s book ranging from board books to chapter books, and including picture books, beginning readers, elementary non-fiction and novels. They also have books for teens in a separate section near pop culture and graphic novels.

The proceeds from the sale are distributed in the form of grants to different organizations in the Miami Valley. Since 1970, the Dayton Book Fair has donated nearly two million dollars. New beneficiaries are chosen each year. In 2022, proceeds from the sale will benefit Crayons to Classrooms, Five Rivers MetroParks and Hannah’s Treasure Chest. Volunteers from these organization are required to help with the Book Fair, to help earn their grants.

Food will be available. Some boxes and a small fleet of shopping carts— you’re welcome to bring your own. Scanners welcome.
