Bloomington Crime Prevention Association

Sponsors of  Book'em Used Book Sale

Welcome!   

The Bloomington Crime Prevention Association (BCPA) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization whose primary focus is to raise money for community based crime prevention programs.

We are best known for our annual fundraiser, the Book'Em Used Book Sale, one of the largest used book sales in the Midwest. 

The 2024 Book'Em Used Book Sale (Book'Em) was held in June.  We appreciate the support of the community and thank our wonderful volunteers for their time, passion and dedication to the success of Book'Em.  Without the contributions of our volunteers, this event would not be possible.

Over the past six years, Book'Em Used Book Sale net sales have exceeded the amount awarded in grants.  For a full list of grant recipients, please see Recent Grant Awards.
