Goodwill Manasota's Bookapalooza
Goodwill Manasota will host its annual Bookapalooza book sale and silent auction on Saturday, Nov 9, 2013, 9 am – 7 pm, at the Centergate Bookstore, 5880 Bee Ridge Rd, Sarasota. The sale features thousands of books, including rare, out-of-print, fiction, children’s, travel, cookbooks, history and specialty books, all at 25 percent off regular Goodwill prices. The event is free and open to the public, and this year’s silent auction will feature a book signed by Julie Andrews and a rare Florida history book. There will also be special $1 books, a children’s coloring contest, and a chance for customers to win Goodwill gift certificates.
Proceeds from the book sale go to support Goodwill’s mission of providing career services and job placement and training to the community with a focus on those with disabilities and other barriers to employment. For more information, visit www.EXPERIENCEGOODWILL.org
