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.
