Host a BOOKUP! Literacy Day

at your school, church or organization!

A one-day affair with books ALL can actually afford!

Detroit Book City has created a 'BookUp! Literacy Day' fostered for all to create a love for reading year round. Attendees have access to purchase a large selection of diverse culturally-rich titles, meet some dynamic local authors | storytellers and participate in several raffles & giveaways through out the day!

Our BookUp! Literacy Day provides new books. Most books sell from $4.99 - $18.99 depending on book type and genre. We suggest you bring at least $7-10 spending money to shop. Or, ask about our "Book Bucks" program. Your organization purchases pre-paid "Book Bucks" in advance in increments of $5. Your group individually cash-in the bucks for books on event day!

At the scheduled BookUp! Literacy Day, we set up 2-3 tables of culturally-rich, diverse books for sale, literacy resources, and lots of giveaways & treats If you would like to request specific titles, we can make that happen just give us 7 business days advance notice!

We give out FREE bookmarks to everyone who buy books. For youth groups, we bring heritage coloring sheets and/or posters that uplift READING with a positive affirmation! At every BookUp! Literacy Day, we raffle off five Detroit Book City Tote Bags or Sportbags. Elementary students get a free copy of Brody's Read Aloud Tips sheet to give to their parents on how to keep them engaged with reading all year round.
