Fall Book Frenzy wants you to save and donate the books, puzzles, and games from your spring cleaning efforts.
By Kim Kikkawa, Fall Book Frenzy 2023 Co-Chair
Please consider setting aside any books, puzzles, or games you no longer want for donation to the 2023 Fall Book Frenzy. Mark your calendars now for this annual sale taking place Thursday, September 28 through Saturday, September 30.
The USN community comes together each fall for this huge three-day book sale. You can peruse the thousands of used books for adults and kids as well as games and puzzles. Get involved by donating your gently-used books, games, and puzzles, volunteering to sort and organize beforehand, and working during the sale. Sorting and conversing over a table of books are great ways to meet other USN parents. The Fall Book Frenzy benefits the Hassenfeld Library, and hundreds of books are donated to Nashville nonprofits and public schools.
Congratulations to Max Parker ’29, Anisha Nachnani ’32, Indy O’Hare ’32, and Lucas Lupu ’31, who took home the top prize at the USN Quiz Bowl Championship.
