Looking for a great summer read? Need a great guide for local hiking trails? Got a new coffee table and need a great oversized book to bring the room together? The POP Project has you covered.
Come out, buy a book, and help other homes receive books in the process!
The POP Project receives a very wide variety of gently-used books from our generous donors. We do our best to find new homes for all these books, but in some cases that can be difficult.
Our periodic Rethink Ink Book Sale gives us an opportunity to find new homes for the difficult-to-house books in our collection. For us, this serves several purposes:
- It clears these books from our potential inventory, which increases volunteer efficiency when sorting and preparing books for delivery.
- It helps us raise money for our storage units, which currently amount to around 80-85% of POP’s operating budget.
- It reduces the amount of storage space that we need to maintain, which will help POP’s budget go further.
By shopping for books at Rethink Ink, you can be confident that every $1 you spend translates to $10 in books donated back out into the community!
We hope you will join us for our 2016 Rethink Ink Book Sale Fundraisers. That’s right—we’re using the plural. This summer, POP will be holding several smaller book sales around town. Books will be different at each one, so we recommend you try to catch them all!
There will be many types of books (and other items) available during the sale for $1 and up, including but not limited to:
- Hardcover and paperback novels
- Coffee table books
- Cook books
- Novelty books
- Vintage books
- Travel and adventure books
- Poetry and literature
- Business and technology books
- Board games, notebooks, and calendars
UPDATE: The first Rethink Ink of 2016 will be held on Sunday, June 26 from 11:00 am–3:00 pm on the back patio of Willow’s Dream, 64 Broadway, downtown Asheville.
We’ll release more information soon about the first book sale fundraiser. In the meantime, if you or your company would like to help underwrite the event, please contact us at aPOPproject@gmail.com.
