Annual Book Sale
We hold our Annual Used Book Sale each year in the fall. The management and employees from both of the buildings where our centers are located participate actively in the sale. For many years, the sale was held in the outdoor plaza at the Public Utilities Commission Building and 505 Van Ness Avenue in downtown San Francisco at the Civic Center, where the C5 Infant-Toddler Center is located. In the fall of 2008, the sale was held two blocks away in the Great Hall of the Hiram Johnson State Office Building at 455 Golden Gate Avenue, where the C5 Preschool Center is located.
Our sales are always a great success. Many people contribute a wide range of books and other items; we sell a lot of books, CDs, DVDs, and VHS videos; people enjoy excellent choices for reasonable prices; and, we make some money for the program.
Proceeds from the book sale and other C5 fundraising activities go to support our family scholarship programs; sending staff members to Reggio Emilia, Italy; and, various ongoing program improvement projects.
You are invited to contribute items that you have to our next sale and to come browse and buy to help us to support the optimal learning and development of young children.
The schedule and other details for the next sale are being formulated and will be posted here when decided.
