Rules and questions

Rules/procedure for the 2008 Used Book Sale:

1. Collect books for the sale: Things to consider. Do not gear your choices just to homeschoolers! Also don’t assume that homeschoolers just want text books. Homeschoolers love to read all sorts of books and learn from all sorts of books so……don’t assume that school means textbooks.

-types of books then to collect: Novels, best sellers, popular children’s books, series books, coffee table books, non-fiction books, how-to books, and basically any book that may be of interest to others.

-types of books to avoid: obviously ‘inappropriate books’ that may cause obvious offense. The committee reserves the right to remove books if this comes up and we assume prudence will be used. The other type would be outdated non-fiction or books that may be obviously of no interest to anyone.

Arrange for an area at your church to store your congregation’s books.
Recruit members to assist with set-up, the transporting of books from your congregation to Emmaus and assist with set-up.
Recruit members to help with the day of the sale. This shouldn’t involve too many people or too much time.
If there are concerns from contributors that they want their books that don’t sell back, then they need to make proper arrangements to see to their safe return. This would be best handled at the close of the sale as the people of Emmaus will need to clean up to prepare for Sunday services.
