That’s a wrap on the 5th Annual Community Book Fair! For three weekends in October, the Books for Keeps team opened the doors to our 12,000 square foot book warehouse, inviting visitors from all over to take home up to 100 books per day (for keeps!)
Our Community Book Fair is completely free for the community, made possible by our event sponsors who provide financial support, visitors who choose to make a donation at the event, community members who donate books and host book drives throughout the year, and volunteers who support event operations. This event exists to further book access in our community and beyond, supporting literacy-rich environments for all. We love getting to meet the teachers, caregivers, community advocates, nonprofit staffers, Little Free Library owners, and more who come through our doors to fill a BFK tote bag with books to share with their community.
In 2024,
48,012 free books taken home for keeps to help expand book access in our community and beyond
216 teachers took home 11,785 free books during our Teachers' Only Sneak Peek Event, to be used in classrooms and communities
2,058 community members of all ages visited the book fair, including 657 first-time visitors
161 unique counties represented by our guests
Thank you to our 2024 event sponsors! Their financial support helps keep this event free for our community!
