Book Collections and Sales

Help us raise money for our scholarships awarded annually to Anne Arundel County women by donating your used books during one of our Summer/Fall scheduled collection dates, and/or shop at our annual used book sale in the Fall.

The 2025 used book collections will begin soon. Here are the planned dates:

There will be three collection sites.  We thank our hosts for generously providing us these locations.  Books may only be brought to these sites from 9am to 12pm on the above dates.
1- In Arnold at the AACC parking lot off West Campus Drive (across from the YMCA),
2- in Severna Park at St. Martin’s-in-the-Field on Benfield Blvd in the parking lot near exit road, and
3- in Annapolis at the St. Philip’s Episcopal Church parking lot on Bestgate Rd at Medical Parkway. 

Please note these guidelines when preparing your donation:
-No encyclopedias, VHS tapes, magazines, or condensed books

Collected books will be sold at our Fall Book Sale, and the proceeds will be used to fund scholarships which will be awarded in the Spring.
