BOOK SALES

USED BOOK, MOVIE & MUSIC SALES

For 90 years, the College Women’s Club of Montclair has been collecting, sorting, and reselling used books, movies, and music to fund scholarship awards for local young women. ​

CWCM’s USED BOOK, MOVIE & MUSIC SALE is a semi-annual, multi-day event that features nearly 100,000 donated books and other media. Fall and the Spring sales are staffed entirely by volunteers from Montclair and surrounding towns. These events are the main way we raise money for the financial awards that go to young women graduating from Montclair, Caldwell, Cedar Grove, Verona, and Bloomfield High Schools each year.  

Book and media donations are accepted on DESIGNATED DONATION DAYS in the summer and winter. Volunteers and students collect books from community members, which are then priced and organized into sections for easier selection.​​

We have thousands of new and gently used hardcovers, paperbacks, CDs, LPs, DVDs/BluRays, audiobooks & sheet music. ​Although we are known for our books, the CWCM sells vinyl records, DVDs, sheet music, maps, and postcards, too – most books are $3 or less!

We also accept financial contributions to our award funds at the sale and have awarded $39K in scholarships to 19 local students in 2025 alone – over $1.5M to date!
