The Community Book Sale is a family literacy event that is planned, promoted and run by teens. It's a 3-day event that gives teens a chance to learn real-world business skills while giving the community access to wonderful children's books at great prices.

You receive hundreds of specially priced books, including award-winning titles, children's classics, and bestsellers at 50% off the cover price! We also provide you with the tools you need to have a successful event, such as advertising materials and "how-to" instructions. At the end of the sale, you keep 10% of the net sales, raising funds for your school, club or other cause!

  • Student's volunteer - they experience teamwork, explore talents, discover strengths, and feel good about themselves.

  • DECA Partnership - Scholastic Book Fairs is a National Advisory Board member for DECA. Running a Community Book Sale is the perfect way for students to earn community service credits while learning real-world business skills.

So if you haven't already, schedule a Community Book Sale today, or see if there's a Community Book Sale in your area.
