40th Anniversary! this October 17th -22nd

The 40th Annual Community Book Fair, a benefit for Hoosier Hills Food Bank, will take place October 17th through 22nd at the Monroe County Fairgrounds.  This year’s book fair will fill two buildings with over 100,000 books, DVDs, CDs, LPs, games, puzzles and other items at affordable prices to support the food bank’s work.  There will be a large selection of children’s books and collectible “Better Books,” which will also include a selection of vintage vinyl LPs.

We accept gently used books, CDs, DVDs, records, games and puzzles at the Hoosier Hills Food Bank Monday-Friday from 9 a.m.- 5 p.m (2333 W. Industrial Park Dr). We do not accept donations October 1st-31st. For more information, please call (812) 334-8374 or e-mail Ryan at volunteer@hhfoodbank.org.

We are honored to be the home of this beloved community event. For more than 30 years, we’ve promoted a message of sustainability – that too much food is wasted and should instead be channeled to people at risk of hunger. In many ways, the same is true of used books. We can’t afford to be a throwaway society – not with food, not with books and certainly not with people

Bring a canned food donation for a $1 book buck coupon!
