2009 celebrated the 31st anniversary of the YMCA Book Fair. Started in 1978 by a group of dedicated YMCA volunteers who raised several hundred dollars for the YMCA by holing a small, one day book fair in the gymnasium.
The YMCA Book Fair is a collaborative project of the YMCA. It includes several YMCA organizations & community volunteers that are dedicated to assisting the YMCA in their mission, in particular their Youth Programs and the YMCA Literacy Programs. Among its efforts to this end is the YMCA Book Fair, which provides a large selection of new and quality used books at reasonable prices.
