our community in terms of
literacy,” Phillips said.
Bookstock also had one
event at the Southfield
Library. Guests include local
authors and bookstore own-
ers.
Phillips says Bookstock
wants to come back in the
biggest way possible, as
they’ve been holding back
for two years.
“I hope it really solidifies
people’s passion for literacy,
education and their love of
reading. Bookstock is a great
recycling event because it
gets books out of people’s
basements and back in other
people’s laps, where they
belong.”
Sharon Resnick, a
Bookstock volunteer and
co-chair who helps lead the
charge in sorting books at
their depot, says they have
more inventory than ever
before.
“Right now, I’d say we have
3,000-3,500 boxes of books
and media,” she said. “I
would say we have easily well
over 300,000 items to sell.”
Resnick views Bookstock’s
return as a return to normal
life and looks forward to
seeing Bookstock friends and
clearing out everything they
have stored so they can start
fresh in the fall.
“I would love to get as
many of these books and
media into the hands of peo-
ple as we can, and I would
love to see people in the mall
happily taking home new
treasures,” Resnick said.
Bookstock is brought to
the community by a con-
sortium of nonprofit orga-
nizations that support edu-
cation and literacy projects
throughout Metro Detroit.
