The 39th Annual Community Book Fair, a benefit for Hoosier Hills Food Bank, will take place October 12th through 17th at the Monroe County Fairgrounds. This year’s book fair will fill two buildings with over 100,000 books, DVDs, CDs, LPs, games, puzzles and other items at affordable prices to support the food bank’s work. There will be a large selection of children’s books and collectible “Better Books,” which will also include a selection of vintage vinyl LPs.
The Book Fair will feature more than twice the usual number of music CDs, food trucks, Chocolate Moose ice cream for purchase, Veteran’s services information, limited free t-shirts on Friday the 13th, and a Curious George Day partnership with Constellation Stage & Screen to promote their community access tickets program and October/November show, “Curious George: The Golden Meatball.”
Opening Day will also feature a short ceremony to introduce the food bank’s newest fleet addition, “Ruby”, a 26 foot refrigerated box truck that was ordered two years ago and delayed by supply chain issues. The Book Fair schedule is as follows:
Thursday, October 12th, 9am- 7pm - $10 Admission. Veteran’s Appreciation Day – veterans and active duty military admitted free, Monroe County Veteran’s Services info table.
