OUUC holds two community used book sale events each year to raise funds for partner organizations working towards a more loving, just, and healthy world.
Summer UU Reading Fun (SUURF) online bookstore for Olympia-area shoppers – open for six days each June at books-ouuc.com. Our 2024 SUURF Bookstore will be open Tuesday June 11 thru Sunday June 16 at books-ouuc.com. While the virtual store is open, you can shop and pay online, then pick up your combined purchases at OUUC the following week. Meanwhile, you can sign up at books-ouuc.com to receive OUUC community book sale updates.
Books Brownies & Beans (BBB) in-person sale – on the fourth Saturday in October at Olympia Unitarian Universalist Congregation, 2306 East End St NW, Olympia, WA 98502. Our 2024 BBB sale will open at 9am on Saturday, October 26. Come and browse the amazing collection of books while you listen to music and enjoy homemade brownies and delicious coffee. Mark your calendars!
BOOK DONATIONS
Donations of gently used books and audiobooks for OUUC’s community book sales are welcome from mid-April through mid-October at the covered center section of Susan Dodson’s front deck during any daylight hours. Susan’s address is in the OUUC directory, or you can email Susan at books.ouuc@gmail.com for more information – or if you or someone you know needs to donate books at other times of the year. For the online SUURF sale, we also welcome CDs and DVDs that are in excellent condition. Please do not deliver book donations to the OUUC building (except from mid-September to mid-October).
Volunteer Opportunities
OUUC book sales are a great way to help OUUC and our larger community. Watch for book sale volunteer opportunities in the Tuesday OUUC Weekly Update emails or contact Susan at books.ouuc@gmail.com to find out how you can join the OUUC book sale team.
THANK YOU for your support and help with these fun, important events that bring us books to read and help strengthen our wider community!
