Bloomington Red Cross Book Fair
Book fair opens Thursday
H-T Report
Sept. 29, 2008
If you love to devour books, prepare for a feast.
For the 25th straight year, the Red Cross Book Fair will take place in Bloomington, offering low-cost books, magazines, CDs, records, cassettes, DVDs, videos, games, and puzzles.
Used books and other media items donated by the public throughout the year are categorized by genre and sold. All proceeds from the fair will go to the Red Cross.
This year the sale will be one day longer than normal, running Oct. 2-7 at the Monroe County Fairgrounds. Local authors Bob Hammel and Michael Koryta will be at the event the first day to sell and sign copies of their newest books.
“We’ve added an indoor concession stand so people can take their time browsing through the lunch and dinner hours,” Sue Gulley, Monroe County Red Cross executive director, said in a prepared statement. “We’ve also moved to the larger commercial building to accommodate the thousands of items we have to sell.”
At the event this year special T-shirts and Red Cross book bags will be on sale. Hours will be extended each day, and many of the same special event days will be in place, such as half price day, bag-it day and free-book day. There will be a half-price bag-it day Monday, and a new clearance section on Thursday and Friday.
Opening day is the only day with an admission fee, $10 at the door.
The fair schedule is as follows:
Thursday, 2-9 p.m.: $10 admission.
Friday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.: Free admission.
Saturday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.: Free admission; half-price books all day.
Sunday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.: Free admission; Bag-it Day all day ($8 for all books packed into a grocery bag)
Oct. 6, 9 a.m.-6 p.m.: Free admission; Half-price Bag-it Day all day ($4 for all books packed into a grocery bag)
Oct. 7, 9 a.m.-5 p.m.: Free Book Day.

Elizabeth Gilbert, the author of Eat, Pray, Love, will be at the IU Auditorium today (Monday, Sept. 8) at 7 p.m. for FREE.If you haven’t had the opportunity to read Eat, Pray, Love, then I highly recommend adding it to your list. I’m usually a speed-reader, but I have slowed myself down on this book so I can savor it. Gilbert is a wonderful writer!
