Your Library Ongoing Book Sale

A lot of Friends of the Library non profits run used book and media sales to raise funds. These are quite often one time fundraisers that go on as oftentimes as once every 30 days or as infrequently as one time a calendar year. These are usually discovered by people searching online for media sales

These sales are great money making events for libraries and non profits. On the other hand, libraries that possess the area( and have the book donation flow) to run a ongoing media sale or book store, usually take advantage of this alternative. There are several perks to this alternative instead of choosing the traditional used book and media sale way of raising funding.

One benefit is if the friends of the library has the area, it is a constant generation of revenue. Events occur daily. This can assit in giving the non profit a ongoing flow of revenue instead of a one time inflow of funds.

Another perk to the used book store model of fund generating is the used for less volunteers. It may require the same amount of volunteer hours, but  the friends of the library won’t need large amounts of helpers for events like a media sale. The Friends of the Library can sort books a little amount of hours every week, and will only require one to two volunteers to either “man”the cash register during posted hours or look at the constant sale space of the library.

This layout for raising funding also prevents the business of a preview night sale. Preview night sales can be hectic for a library if they don’t have the room to accommodate a large crowd of people trying to attend the first night of a book sale.

On final benefit is that there is always new books at the sale. This promotes the continuous patronage of the books set out for sale, since buyers can come back continuously and find new books for sale.

One indirect benefit an continuous media sale or book store brings is ongoing awareness to your organization. There is a constant reminder that your non profit exists and that you could use more donated book and media items. This perk can also help increase volunteer sign ups.
