Our April Book Sale Was a Great Success

Our April Book Sale raised $77,000, matching the success of our previous two sales. Approximately 4,500 customers attended, giving more than 32,000 books new homes.

A special thank you goes to the dedicated volunteers who collect and sort donated books throughout the year, as well as the 100-plus volunteers who helped set up displays, organize books, and assist customers during the sale.

We are also grateful to our enthusiastic patrons, many of whom were seen carrying armfuls of books. Thank you for embracing the experience—and for occasionally accepting the cure for “longarmitis”: a shopping cart!

Thank you to everyone who supported the April sale. We look forward to welcoming you to our next Book Sale at Elgin Park Secondary School from August 28 to September 1.

Donate Books

Donations of clean, gently used books, puzzles, and audiobooks are appreciated throughout the year. Book donations may still be placed in the blue donation bin on the north side of the Rotary Fieldhouse at 2197 148 Street, Surrey.

Large donations can be delivered directly to the warehouse on Monday mornings from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m., when volunteers are available to assist with unloading. Please do not leave donations outside the bin.

For year-round book donations at the Rotary Fieldhouse, see the information below.

During the Book Sale (August 28–September 1), please bring all book donations to the designated Donation Table at Elgin Park Secondary School.

Book Donations

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.
