The Midwest's Largest Charity Book Fair


About

Since 1950, we have sold a diverse and quality selection of new, gently-used, and rare books to book lovers and collectors from all over. The proceeds from the Fair's sales benefit local non-profit education and literacy programs.

Our Mission

Our mission is threefold: to empower youth with literacy, to empower the community through ongoing support of local charities, and to empower our volunteers through experiences that create lasting memories. Oh, the stories we'll tell!

Our History

Since 1950, Book Fair has been a favorite seasonal destination of book lovers and collectors nationwide. Volunteers work year-round gathering over one million new, gently used, and rare items from individuals, estates, businesses, and other organizations. Fair proceeds assist local education and literacy programs with operational expenses, student aid, and other financial needs.
