OUUC 2023 Summer UU Reading Fun Event - Newsy Bits & Shopping Tips #2

Posted by Susan, OUUC book sale volunteer on Jun 11th 2023

Greetings fellow book lovers,

The online SUURF Bookstore will open this Tuesday June 13 at 8am - in just 2 days. Wow!

The past month has been a whirlwind of activity - getting the word out, sorting through mountains of your amazing book donations, listing thousands of books, signing up teams of volunteers to fill your orders after the sale, and polishing up the SUURF Store for its Grand Opening.

All Olympia-area shoppers are welcome at the SUURF Bookstore! You do not need a login or account to shop at this 6-day fundraising event. Please bookmark/favorite the SUURF Store website at www.books-ouuc.com/

We selected the best-selling, nicest-condition, and most intriguing books for this online sale - and every item is priced at just $3. We’re saving the rest – and of course all the donations between now and Fall - for OUUC’s HUGE in-person Books Brownies & Beans sale (watch for that on Saturday October 28th).

For those of you who shopped at our Virtual BBB or Holiday Sale in 2021, shopping SUURF will be pretty much the same. You can:

  • Shop as often as you’d like, and at your own convenience during the six days the store is open.
  • Search for specific titles or authors – or browse various categories.
  • Shop from any device (desktop, tablet, phone, etc). However, each device has a separate shopping cart so be sure to Check Out and pay before you leave the store on each device.
  • Check Out often – especially when you find books or discs that you really want. Each of our unique items remains visible and available to all shoppers until someone pays for them. Other shoppers will see a message when they Check Out asking them to delete items that are no longer available.
  • Get your 10th item FREE when you buy at least 10 items during the same Check Out.

In tomorrow’s update, we’ll let you know about a few things we’ve done differently for SUURF 2023. Stay tuned!

By the way, we have a request for ‘Trinity’ by Leon Uris. If you have a copy that you’re ready to part with, please hit Reply and let me know.
