Used Book Sale

  • Each spring the Student Council holds a Used Book Sale to provide Upper Level students with an opportunity to sell their textbooks that will be used in the next school year to current and incoming students and to purchase any textbooks that will be used during the upcoming year at reduced prices. 
  • Prices are extremely reasonable, often better than other used booksellers
  • If your daughter changes classes, a simple book exchange may be done in school. 
  • Following the Used Book Sale, monies from the sale of books will be credited to current students’ school accounts or sent in check form to graduating Seniors.
  • Any books that are not sold can either be returned to you or be held until the following year for sale in the 2022 Used Book Sale.
  • PAYMENT IN THE FORM OF CHECKS ONLY WILL BE ACCEPTED AT THIS SALE.  NO CASH OR CREDIT CARDS WILL BE ACCEPTED.
Handing in Your Used Books to be Sold in the 2021 Used Book Sale:
Over the next few weeks, students will receive detailed information on how to sell their books in the Used Book Sale. 
  • Your daughter will need to ask her teachers to price any books that will be used next year and can be sold in the sale. 
  • She will place a slip of paper inside each book indicating the price and that the book is hers.
  • During the last week of classes, she will place books in the Used Book Sale designated location. At that time, she will also need to submit a full list of all books that she is selling.
