Lacordaire Academy’s Annual Used Book Sale

Greetings from the team behind your favorite book sale!

The 2026 Book Sale will take place from Thursday, May 14 – Sunday, May 17, 2026.  

With thousands and thousands of books, audiobooks, DVDs and CDs, all cleaned and sorted into categories for ease of shopping, most books at Lacordaire’s annual used book sale are priced from 25 cents to $3; special books are priced individually and appear in our “Something Special” category.

The Book Bunker is now open for donations!

The last day to donate books for the 2026 sale will be Sunday, April 12.  

We are accepting donations of  gently-used books, audiobooks, CDs and DVDs. Please, no textbooks, encyclopedias, magazines, or unsold books from other sales. 

How to Donate to The Book Bunker

No more climbing stairs to drop off your book donations! The Book Bunker is just a little farther along on the curved driveway, on the ground level of James Hall, the beautiful old mansion on campus. Just pull up, open the doors to the Book Bunker, drop off your donation, and kindly close the doors. And please watch your head: the clearance is a bit low. Please see the photos . The white arrow superimposed on the driveway in the photo below points to the Book Bunker.
