The WKU English Club is holding its spring book sale between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Thursday in Cherry Hall, room 101.
According to the WKU English Club’s Instagram, books will be priced at $5 for a full bag, 50 cents for a paperback and $1 for a hardback.
Students can also buy CDs, DVDs, friendship bracelets and an illustration of Bill Clinton. The WKU English Club will be accepting cash or Venmo payments.
Carly Fawcett, a junior creative writing major and vice president of the English Club, said all the items for sale are professors’ left overs that were found in the basement of Cherry Hall.
“We’ve been collecting floor-to-ceiling boxes of books over the last several years,” Fawcett said.
She said the sale is held once a semester, and the money raised by the club is used to sponsor the Goldenrod Writing Festival.
“Most of it’s used on bringing in a visiting writer, either a poet, creative nonfiction writer or fiction writer, from somewhere nearby,” Fawcett said.
This year, the English Club invited Gaylord Brewer, a writer and English professor from Middle Tennessee State University.
Even though Cherry Hall will close over the summer for renovations, the English Club said it will continue the book sale in Grise Hall next semester.
“We have no idea how the book sale is going to work or where it’s going to be, but it will happen,” Fawcett said.
