BFK Book Sale is back - and better than ever!

It's that time of year again.

You know, the one where you tell your inner book lover that it's OK to go crazy. It's OK to just buy an extra five books (or ten or twenty) rather than picking them up at the library.

Because it's the BFK Book Sale.

We’re pleased to announce that we have the best location yet for our third annual sale, and by far the best selection of books to showcase. Because every book at the sale was donated to us, it means every dollar you spend on books at the BFK Book Sale goes right back into purchasing books that will get kids in Athens excited about reading all summer long.

So don’t hold back. Join us August 22 through 25 at Homewood Village Shopping Center, 2415-C Jefferson Road (next to Harry’s BBQ Bistro), for a long weekend of great books. Our prices can’t be beat – our most expensive books start at $3, and prices will be reduced over each day of the sale.

We’re also planning lots of fun extras for the book sale, like live music, a Kids’ Corner where volunteers will be reading to your little ones while you shop, and more. Keep checking back here for details as we set them. You can also join our event on Facebook, follow updates on our Facebook page, or sign up for our newsletter.

See you at Homewood Village in August!
