Each year, Shelter House creates a wonderland of adventure, mystery, and curiosity at the annual Book Sale. Tens of thousands of used books are generously donated by members of the community and sold at low prices to support Shelter Houser’s critical work. This is truly a community fundraiser: many community members donate books, volunteer for, and shop at the Book Sale.

Admission is FREE! Consider an Early Entry pass for $10 to have access to the sale 30 minutes before the general admission on Saturday, March 23.

For those interested in donating: 

Books, CDs, DVDs, Vinyl Records, and Puzzles can be dropped off at 860 Quarry Rd, Coralville starting February 18th until March 20th.

Donation drop-off will continue every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday from 10am – 2pm, and Sundays from 2pm – 4pm.

*We are unable to accept contributions of magazines, encyclopedias, textbooks, Reader’s Digest, books with no covers or water damage, musty books, cassette or VHS tapes.
