Organizers of the Unionville High School PTO Used Book Sale - one of the largest sales of its kind in the Northeast – are looking for donations, sturdy bags, and volunteers.

The popular two-day sale, which typically features 80,000 books in 45 categories, will return to the high school gymnasium on Friday evening, Feb. 27, from 5 to 9 p.m. It will continue on Saturday, Feb. 28, from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Doors will reopen from 3 to 5 p.m. for the $8-a-bag finale.

In the meantime, organizers hope area residents will scour their homes for contributions in good condition. Students and parents will be collecting books, audio books, music CDs, DVDs and video games in local neighborhoods on Saturday, Jan. 24, from 9 a.m. to noon.

Donators are asked to leave items – protected from the weather in a plastic bag, if necessary - at the end of the driveway with a label that can be printed from the sale’s website. A list of roads that will not be served can also be found on the website: http://uhsbooksale.org.

Items can also be dropped off on weekdays at all school buildings in the district, beginning on Monday, Jan. 26, until Friday, Feb. 20. Marked collection boxes will be set in the schools’ main entrances. At Unionville High School, the drop-off location is Door #22 near the cafeteria LGI. Organizers are also looking for sturdy, handled bags that can be used for purchases during the sale.

Items that will not be accepted include Reader’s Digests, encyclopedias, dictionaries, PDR’s, electronics, computer manuals, computer software, magazines, music cassettes, board games, coloring books, or puzzles.

Organizers stress that the sale, one of the biggest fundraisers for the high school, could not occur without numerous volunteers to collect, sort, and sell the offerings. Opportunities are available from Saturday, Jan. 24, through the sale. To volunteer, visit http://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e094facac22a31-20151/.

Unionville High School is located at 750 Unionville Rd., Kennett Square, Pa., 19348. Snow dates are Feb. 6 and 7.
