The Patrons and Emeriti Book Sale Center end-of-semester sale will take place Dec. 9-12 from noon to 5 p.m. each day. The sale will include half-off all items, and the Book Sale Center will provide small bags to fill for $5 and large bags to fill for $10. The Book Sale Center also sells used nonfiction and fiction books, National Geographic magazines, CDs, LPs, sheet music, and DVDs. This semester, the center also has a large collection of classical music and opera CDs. The Book Sale Center is located in Pollak Library, Room 190, which is only accessible from the quad outside the library. The sale is cash only.
The Book Sale Center also accepts donations of nonfiction and fiction books, National Geographic and Life magazines, CDs, LPs, sheet music, and DVDs. Donations can be brought to the Book Sale Center Monday through Friday, noon to 5 p.m., during the first 15 weeks of each 16-week semester. To make a donation at other dates or times of the year, reach out to Scott Hewitt at shewitt@fullerton.edu.
The main purpose of the Book Sale Center is to raise funds for the Pollak Library’s Special Collections as well as provide students and the campus community with access to low-priced, used books. This year, funds went toward the first U.S. Latinx science fiction collection, a project that was led by David Sandner, professor of English, comparative literature and linguistics. The funds also went toward matching funds for Pollak Library fundraising for Special Collections.
