The post below is a client of mine. All opinions expressed belong to me. For real though, I love going to this sale each year 😉
The presence of books in the home has a greater influence on a child’s level of education than does the parents income, nationality, or level of education.
This statistic is one of many reasons I rarely say “no” to books, especially when they are easy to find at garage sales and book sales!
One of my favorite perks of April is Bookstock, Michigan’s largest book and media sale benefitting our neighbors hungry for the love of literacy.
During the past 17 years, Bookstock has generated more than $2 million for literacy and education projects in Michigan. Nearly 800 volunteers work together throughout the year to organize and staff the weeklong Bookstock sale. It really is a fantastic and well-run operation!
The Bookstock 2019 sale takes place Sunday, April 7 through Sunday, April 14 at the Laurel Park Place mall in Livonia.
Bookstock has 300,000-plus gently used books, DVDs, CDs, books on tape, and vinyl for sale at bargain basement prices. The sale runs Sundays from 11 a.m. — 6 p.m. and Monday through Saturday 10 a.m. — 9 p.m. New stock is added to the floor daily and entry is FREE.
