From Berks Book Bonanza
Following a successful mini-sale in September 2024, Berks Book Bonanza will once again open its doors to the public for its regular five-day, gently used book sale scheduled to run from Wednesday, July 9, through Sunday, July 13. This will be the annual fundraiser’s second sale at the County of Berks South Campus location, 400 E. Wyomissing Ave. in Mohnton, but its first, five-day operation since 2021.
Sale organizers are optimistic about returning to the regular schedule and look forward to expanding upon last year’s success.
“We were thrilled to generate $40,000 in proceeds last year that went directly to two local organizations,” said Judy Ellsworth, vice president of Berks Book Bonanza. “Now that we have a full year of experience at our new home, we’re ready to open our doors for the full five days once again.”
A long-standing fundraiser in Berks County, Berks Book Bonanza is one of the largest book sale operations in the local area, offering gently used books, DVDs, CDs, vinyl records, puzzles, and other items at remarkably low prices of $2.00 or less for general items and specialty materials and collectible books priced as marked.
The 2025 Berks Book Bonanza sale will occur on the following dates:
- Wednesday, July 9, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. ($20 early bird admission)
- Thursday, July 10, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
- Friday, July 11, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
- Saturday, July 12, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
- Sunday, July 13, from noon to 4 p.m. ($5 bag of books sale)
A holding area will be available on Wednesday, July 9. No carts will be permitted inside the building, but volunteers will be on hand to assist in transporting large orders.
Shoppers should be aware that the sale is cash or check only, with no on-site ATMs available. Identification will be required for all check purchases.
The sale entrance will be located behind the building by the covered ramp. Volunteers will restock items throughout the sale.
The book sale fundraiser benefits two local organizations: the Friends of Berks County Public Libraries and Reading Branch of the American Association of University Women (AAUW). All sale materials are donated by Berks Countians, with proceeds supporting area libraries and providing scholarships to women.
