Our April book sale was a great success—raising $77,000 once again.
Thank you to everyone who supported us, and we look forward to seeing you at our next sale this August!
We reached our sales target of $77,000—matching the success of our previous two book sales. We were delighted to welcome approximately 4,500 customers, who together gave over 32,000 books new homes.
A special thank you goes to the many dedicated volunteers who collect and sort donated books throughout the year, as well as the 100+ volunteers who helped set up displays and assist customers during the sale.
And to our enthusiastic patrons—many of whom were seen carrying armfuls of books—thank you for embracing the experience (and for accepting the occasional “cure” for longarmitis: a cart!).

Donations of books, puzzles and audio books in good condition are welcome. Our customers do not want magazines, university textbooks, encyclopedias, manuals, damaged or dirty books. We are looking for books that you would want to gift to a friend. You would be surprised what arrives in the bin that is not a book.
Books can be donated 24/7 at the Blue Bin in the driveway on the North side of the Rotary Fieldhouse, located at 2197 148 St, Surrey, south of the Surrey Eagles Hockey Arena. We provide empty boxes in the bin for you to use for loose books. Large donations can be dropped off Monday or Thursday mornings from 9-11 a.m. while we are sorting in the warehouse. We can help you unload directly into the book warehouse and not fill up the bin. If you need help with picking up a large donation of books, we can help. Contact us at rotaryclub.booksale@gmail.com for assistance.

Please do not leave books outside the bin as they will get damaged. If you need to drop off books and bin is full, please put the books in one of the empty grey bins and close the lid. The bin is emptied everyday.
