Carrollton-Farmers Branch Council PTA Annual “Gently Used Book Sale”
February 27 – March 2


The Seventh Gently Used Book Sale is a book lover's paradise that provides all types of books at great prices. You will find all the books are organized by category and even author.  Over 100,000 items are expected at the sale.   All items are donated by the Dallas-Fort Worth area community.

Most items are "gently used," but some books are new.

Coordinated by the Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD Council PTA and Educational Foundation, the Gently Used Book Sale not only raises funds for the two non-profit organizations, but it also provides all types of books at great prices.

Location:    

Trinity Valley Shopping Center
2660 North Josey Lane
Carrollton, TX 75006     map

(Josey Lane at George Bush Turnpike)

Just look for the big sign that says "Book Sale." And, if you miss the sign, look for the yellow school bus.
