The 2011 Book'Em used book sale resulted in yet another record-breaking year due to the efforts of more than 50 volunteers and corporate sponsorships/donations.
The BCPA Board of Directors would like to extend a sincere thank you to everyone who helped support this year's sale. We are especially indebted to Wixon Jewelers, who have generously donated the Lyndale location the past six years! Also, thank you to all of our loyal customers – we couldn’t do it without you! For a complete list of Book'Em Sponsors click here. All net proceeds from the sale are used to fund grants that further crime prevention efforts in Bloomington.
Used books are donated (tax deductible) to BCPA from residents, libraries, bookstores, estate sales, etc. See the flyer for types of books and other items accepted. Book'Em volunteers pick up, sort, organize and sell these books at the annual sale. The sale is held during a two week period in June. The location of the sale typically moves from year to year to accommodate donated space. Revisit our website frequently for specific information about the upcoming book sale.

"Where and when can I donate books?"
Please refer to the Book'Em flyer for drop-off locations that open the first week of April each year. If you cannot wait until April (moving, estate sale, down-sizing, trying to get organized) please call 952-220-2537 or email bookem@bcpamn.org. We have limited storage but certainly want to accept your tax deductible donation. Please call or email BCPA if you have any other questions regarding the book sale.
