Calling all book lovers!

The 27th Annual Monroe County Chapter of the American Red Cross BOOK
FAIR will be held from September 30th through October 5th, 2010 at the Monroe
County Fairgrounds in Bloomington, Indiana. One of the largest charity bookselling
events in the Midwest, they offer 80,000-100,000 donated books, LPs, CDs, DVDs,
magazines, puzzles and much more at wonderful prices. All proceeds benefit the
humanitarian mission of the Red Cross right here at home.

Book lovers of all ages come on opening day when they can get the best
selection. Admission is $10, and doors open at noon on Thursday, Sept. 30th. After
Thursday, admission is free from Friday through Tuesday. This year, also offered are
two days (October 1st and 2nd) of “Book Bucks” coupons. Book Fair patrons who
donate non-perishable food items for the Hoosier Hills Food Bank will receive a “Book
Buck” good for $1 off merchandise on those days.

A new “Military Family Appreciation Day” will be Sunday, Oct. 3rd. Military
families can show their ID and receive free “goodie bags” for their kids. Please visit the
