The POP Project receives a very wide variety of 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 percent 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.
We invite you to our next Rethink Ink Book Sale and Fundraiser on Saturday, June 27 at the parking lot of Grace Baptist Church in West Asheville. This is the same space used for the West Asheville Tailgate Market on Tuesdays.
There will be many types of books available during the sale for $1 and up, including but not limited to:
- Coffee table books
- Cook books
- Medieval history
- Novelty books
- Hardcover and paperback novels
- Vintage books
We’ll release more information as we get closer to the sale. In the meantime, if you or your company would like to donate folding tables or pop-up tents, or help underwrite the sale, please contact us at aPOPproject@gmail.com.
