50th Annual VNSA Book Sale

Free admission; (There is a parking fee) www.vnsabooksale.org. One of the biggest annual events in the Valley, the VNSA Book Sale offers over 600,000 used books and magazines. The VNSA donates all of its proceeds to several charitable organizations. People have been known to begin lining up at 3:00am and the line is nearly a mile long by the time the door opens at 7:00am. When the crowds die down by Saturday afternoon and Sunday, the VNSA just brings out a ton of more books. On Sunday, everything is half off the marked price. This is a great place to go to obtain a bunch of books related to medicine and other interests at incredibly cheap prices. more »
