Used Book Sale
For years, the JCC has let people get a head start on their reading as the summer is winding down. In late August it's time to start thinking about all the books you want over the upcoming chilly months and the Used Book Sale is the place to find them. The sale takes over the J's Auditorium at the Carlyn H. Wohl Building (Creve Coeur) as over 250,000 used books are made available to the public over a one-week period.
Books are divided into numerous catagories and there is something for everyone. From fiction to non-fiction, political to humor and cookbooks to classics, you can find it here. There is a small fee for opening day, but the rest of the sale is open and free of charge. If you're looking for that next great mystery, romance or thriller, come and check out the JCC Used Book Sale!
