It can be hard to find new ways to fundraise and with the way, the months are flying by and NLC in Anaheim, California will be here before we know it! A unique way to raise money this month is a used book sale. Collect used books from neighbors, friends, family, and sell these books to students or a local used book store. It may not seem like much, but you’d be surprised to find how many books people do not need anymore and are willing to give away. Here are some steps to get your used book sale started.
1. Collections
Contact friends, family, or even go door-to-door to ask for used books that people are not interested in anymore. You can even find some in your own home!
2. Decide Details
As usual, the details are the most important. Decide the price for the used books, location for the used book sale, when it will take place, etc. If this is taken place at school, make sure to get permission from your administration and to have a teacher or faculty member overlook the book sale while it is being held.
3. Promote, promote, promote!
Make colorful flyers with the information needed and spread the word to the community about the book sale for maximum exposure!
If you decide to do this used book sale, good luck and have fun. We wish you a Happy New Year and we hope 2017 is your Time to Shine!
