Use your passion for books to help the Book Fair Foundation! We're so grateful to have many thousands of books donated to us by the local community, but we need your help to sort through them all in our Triage department!
Folks working Triage scan our incoming donations to look for treasures, separate them into a few basic categories (hardcovers, paperbacks, children’s, etc.), and then box and deliver them to those departments. This is often a fast-paced and fun environment to work in, because you just never know what’s going to turn up at the front door! Please note that this task involves standing, using a computer and moving heavy boxes of books.
Your assistance will help us raise money to benefit Dayton-area non-profits and make sure that our books find loving homes. Our beneficiaries for the 2025 Dayton Book Fair will be announced in February 2025.
We’re open for volunteers and donations year-round at the below times:
- Tuesdays, 10 am-4 pm
- Wednesdays, 10 am-4 pm
- Thursdays, 10 am-4 pm
- Saturdays, 10 am-4 pm
Please feel free to contact us or drop by so we can give you the tour!

Mission Statement
"The mission of the Book Fair Foundation, Inc. is to receive and collect donated books which we resell through an annual book fair and other channels in order to raise money for a variety of charitable interests. In addition, we also redistribute donated books to schools, clinics, nursing homes, soup kitchens, the county jail, and other entities where books are needed."
Description
The Book Fair Foundation collects donations of books, CDs, DVDs, records, puzzles and games year-round which are priced, sorted and packed for our annual sale in November at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. Each year we choose three local non-profit groups to share from the proceeds of the sale. We have supported local groups for over five years; we have 45 years of supporting a single charity, for which we raised over two million dollars.
