Thanks for Making Our 2024 Book Sale a Success! 

​

​

 The 2024 Summit College Club Book Sale, which took place from April 17 through April 21, was a huge success for all involved. The many people who donated books, cd's, dvd's and records probably cleared some space on their shelves and shared past reading matter with the wider community. Our many community volunteers got to know Summit College Club members while performing a much-needed service (we couldn't do it without you!). Our members reconnected over the sorting, straightening and and cashiering. Our customers found great bargains and can look forward to new reading and listening pleasure. And, as a branch of the American Association of University Women, Summit College Club uses sale proceeds to provide scholarships to high-achieving young women in our area, as we work toward equity for women and girls. 

Thanks to everyone involved, and we hope to see you again in a year!

The Summit College Club Book Sale began in 1935 and has been held over 70 times. The Book Sale funds our scholarships, supports our educational goals, and in many senses defines our organization for the public. Largely because of its success, Summit College Club has awarded nearly a million dollars in scholarships.
 
The SCC Book Sale does nothing by halves!  In a typical year, it offers for sale more than fifty thousand books helpfully arranged in dozens of categories. It draws readers and book dealers from the entire New York metropolitan area and across New Jersey. Virtually all SCC members help out in one way or another over the course of the year: they plan and publicize, set up and break down the hall, accept, sort, arrange, and restock the donated books, and see that any leftovers find their way to other uses.  
 
Two celebrations follow the sale: a party for all those who volunteered their time and effort, and a Scholarship Reception, at which SCC awards the scholarships and honors the achievement of the winners and their proud parents.
