​DONATE TO THE BOOK SALE!
Spring 2025 donation dates now listed below.

---

The College Women's Club of Montclair (CWCM) is a 501c3 nonprofit. Staffed entirely of volunteers from Montclair and surrounding towns, the CWCM holds two book sales each year - one in the spring and another in the fall. In between sales, students and volunteers collect books from community members, which are then priced and organized into sections for easier selection. Although we are known for our books, the CWCM sells vinyl records, DVDs, sheet music, maps, and postcards, too!

All proceeds go to running the book sale and awarding scholarships to young women with financial need - we rely on YOUR donations!

In between sales, we accept book and media donations at 26 Park Street in Montclair, NJ (lower level of the Technopulp Building, across from the YMCA) ONLY on designated days and times (see below).
