Another year brings another used book sale, and draws students, staff, faculty, and neighbors to the MIT Open Space for a wonderful way to support the work of the CSF. Selections ranged from children’s books to coffee-table showpieces, and everything in between. With multiple tables filled to the brim with donated books, there were picks to fill any bookshelf, office, or bedside table.
This year, the crew at the used book sale flew by expectations with a record-setting $2,200+ raised for the fund! Established in 1968 by the MIT faculty, the CSF provides financial resources to support MIT students, faculty, and staff volunteers in local public service initiatives. From strengthening relationships between the Institute and surrounding communities to funding service projects that offer educational value to MIT students, the organization’s founding principles remain at the heart of CSF’s work. The CSF is wholly supported by generous donations from MIT community members — and from events such as the used book sale.
We are so grateful to all of the book donors and patrons who stopped by to fill up their bookcases this September. We are just over the moon, and can't wait to do it again soon!
