Location
The warehouse is located at 420 Athena Drive, near Athens Tech. Please follow the directions below. There is no signage at the road, so it is easy to pass right by it!
If you're coming from Hull Road/Hwy 29, you'll go over a set of railroad tracks. Our building is the third driveway on the right after the railroad tracks. Look for the building with the doorway that has a blue awning facing the road. When you pull into the parking lot, drive all of the way to the far side - you'll see a door with the Books for Keeps logo, next to a loading dock.
Please park as close to the back as possible. The front side of the parking lot near the building is reserved for our neighbor's customers.
Fees/Admission
October 18, 22, 23 and 24 are all free!
If you join us October 17, tickets are $10 at the door.

Description
Join us this October for the 7th Annual Community Book Fair, hosted by Books for Keeps in our warehouse at 420 Athena Drive in Athens, GA!
Books at this event are completely free to the public, made possible by our generous sponsors, and each visitor can take up to 100 books per day home to their community. Individual donations are very appreciated, and all proceeds directly support our book access programs in the current school year.
This year, bring your own bag! Though we'll have a limited number of containers for visitors to take their books home, we'll ask that you bring your own bags/boxes/bins as well.
No Resellers Please! These books were donated by members of the community, and are intended for community and personal use only.
