Volunteers will assist donors with unloading vehicles during these times. Donations will be accepted up through June 24. A complete list of acceptable donations can be found on the Berks Book Bonanza website, www.berksbookbonanza.org.

After the sale’s conclusion in 2019, the Berks County fundraiser was without a home to collect and sort donations. Officials from the Berkshire Mall once again extended a helping hand to Book Bonanza for 2020. Joseph Nosti and Kala Gorman, mall management, offered the same store locations from 2019. It was the extra space in the former Gap and Gap Kids stores that helped the sale raise nearly $68,000 last year.

For 2020, Book Bonanza will again offer the popular Thursday pre-sale opener for early bird shoppers. The holding area will be available Thursday for bulk shoppers to store items while they browse the sale, and enthusiasts can look through unique and hard-to-find local treasures in the collectibles area on all fours days. As anticipated, the sale will be also offer a wide range of books, DVD’s, CD’s, games, and puzzles.
