What started as a small organized book sale nine years ago has grown into one of the largest best organized Gently Used Book Sales in the North Texas area. From Feb. 25 to Feb. 28, the C-FB ISD Council PTA and the C-FB ISD Educational Foundation will host the Ninth Annual Gently Used Book Sale in Carrollton.
This book sale is an annual fundraising event for the benefit of the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District.
The sale location is easy to find:
Trinity Valley Shopping Center
2660 N. Josey Lane (Northeast corner of George Bush Tollway & Josey Lane in Carrollton)
Carrollton, TX 75006
Those who live in Carrollton call the shopping center, the “Target Shopping Center” since the largest store is, of course, Target.

Since the sale’s product is provided by donations, you may also find DVDs and audio books as well as video tapes and even a few unexpected surprises.
The event is run by volunteers who have spent hours preparing the site and turning it into a gently used book store. It is unbelievable how organized the sale is. The volunteers have sorted the books into all types of categories, divided between children’s and adult sections with detailed signage. They even hand out maps to customers.
During the sale, volunteers help customers throughout the store and check-out. Cash is always the best, but checks are accepted with the necessary identification. They take MasterCard and VISA for purchases for $15 or more.
So drop on by the Gently Used Book Sale from Feb. 25 – Feb. 28. Reading is good for you, and your money is going to good a cause.
And, if you have books to donate, you can still donate by dropping them at the site. For more information, visit http://www.gentlyusedbooksale.org/.
