LoginThe Metro: Bookstock fosters literacy through community effort
Bookstock Michigan, one of the largest used book and media sales in the country is back.
Each year at Laurel Park Place in Livonia, thousands of volunteers help collect, sort, and organize hundreds of thousands of donated books and media items. The result is an affordable marketplace for readers of all ages.
But beyond the size of the sale, the collective effort behind it, from neighbors, to educators, and community members keeps the spirit of Bookstock alive.
Proceeds from sales go directly back into literacy and education programs across the region, helping expand access to reading materials and learning opportunities.
Honorary Bookstock chair Neal Rubin joins The Metro to share more about the annual event.
