Book Sale

We’ve had our 68th Annual Scholarship Book Sale –
Thank you to the Buffalo area community for your wonderful support!!

We’ll try to update details as we get ready for the 2025 sale. Let’s start here:

  • The next sale will be at our traditional time – May 28-June 1, 2025. We’ll be back at last year’s location – 425 Essjay in Williamsville.

  • For donations, you may park in the lot next to the door. During business hours at the sale, please park across the street at 550 Essjay.
  • We are accepting donations at the sale site April 22 – May 14. Tuesday 10am-8pm, Wednesday 10am-5pm, Thursday and Friday 1pm-5pm, Saturday 10am-noon.
  • Please, no professional journals, Reader’s Digest Condensed books (except large print), magazines (except WNY Heritage), cassettes, videotapes, encyclopedias, Time/Life books, technical manuals or computer books. We do welcome puzzles, CDs, DVDs, and 33rpm records! All in good condition, of course – if you wouldn’t give it to a friend, we probably can’t sell it!
  • Want to help now? Help us advertise! Print out our poster to post at your grocery store or other neighborhood bulletin boards.

    Also to Christ United Methodist Church for helping us out with some desperately needed temporary storage space this winter. The church has several charitable projects which align with AAUW’s mission. They would certainly appreciate donations of materials and/or, of course, monetary contributions. See Local – Christ United Methodist Church (christchurchamherst.org).

    Plus kudos to the Buffalo and Erie County Library System and the NIOGA Library System for distributing our bookmarks AND to several of their branches for donating books!
