The 30th Annual Book'Em Used Book Sale was held in June 2025 and was a great success for the BCPA, raising funds that will go to organizations which serve Bloomington. The BPCA is thankful for the community's commitment to the event and to the fantastic Book'Em volunteers who gave of their time, talent and treasures. Without the volunteers, Book'Em would not be possible.
Thank you.
The Book 'Em used book sale has been held annually since 1992. The purpose of the sale is to generate funds that are awarded as grants to Bloomington organizations for crime prevention activities. The sale has increased in size each year and is now one of the largest of its kind in the Upper Midwest.
We have many loyal customers and receive many compliments about the sale. Here is one posted on Nextdoor by Bev A., "Most wonderful used book sale ever. I go every year wherever they are, much benefit to our community! Keep reading and support this."
Used books, cds, dvds, records, games and puzzles are donated (tax deductible) to BCPA from residents, libraries, bookstores, estate sales, etc. Book'Em volunteers pick up, sort, organize and sell these items at the annual sale. Revisit our website frequently for specific information about the upcoming book sale.
The primary drop-off location is at the sale site. The drop-off will be available usually about 10 weeks before the start of the sale. Additional drop-off sites are located in Bloomington. If you are moving, down-sizing, disposing of an estate or have other circumstances where you can't store until drop-off locations are open, please contact us at board@bcpamn.org. Please email if you have any other questions regarding the book sale.
The date is approaching fast and we’re making preparations. Don’t miss out! Check out Drop Off Locations
