Grove Street Book Store Located just off the Fireplace Room in the UU Church
ABOUT THE BOOK SHOP
Grove Street Book Shop (GSBS), established in 1995, is a
volunteer-run fundraising effort of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Great Lansing. We
carry quality used books, donated by members and friends, as well as selected titles of
new books that enhance our understanding of Unitarian Universalism and our world.
Profits from sales of used books, and
approximately 20% of the cover price of new books, generate funds that revert to the
general fund of the church at the end of the fiscal year. The board of trustees determines
how yearly profits will be used to benefit our church community.

Almost
a dozen ways you can help
UUCGL’s Grove Street Book Shop
Buy Used! The paper back books in the built
in shelves are 30 cents, hardbacks are 60 cents each. . . which is still the best bargain
in town. We have recent titles of gently used books on Sunday mornings, priced $ 1- $5.
When you make a purchase, round the amount
up to the nearest dollar.
Donate your used books. Bring books on
Sunday mornings or, during the week, leave them under a table in the book shop. If you
would like a receipt, contact Deb Bennett with the number of books donated.
Magazines are free. GSBS offers a magazine
exchange of issues one or two months old. Bring one, take two.
Any book you can buy through Schuler Books
and Music, GSBS can order for you. UUCGL will usually benefit from 20% of the cover price.
We carry many books by the Unitarian Universalist
Association’s Beacon Press and Skinner Press. Order your books through Grove Street
and you’ve done two good things.
Volunteer to work on Sunday morning shelving or selling
books. The fiction and mystery sections are organized alphabetically by author. Other
sections vary.
Help support our annual October Schuler Days Fundraiser.
After hours, purchase a book , pick up a copy of a sermon
and leave a donation in the wooden box.
Give a GSBS Gift Certicate. Certificates can be used for
purchases and there’s no expiration date. Check with Deb Bennett for details.
Please keep coffee cups off the new book table and book
shelves. Spills are expensive.
Nearly new and new books, which are in the locking shelves
and on the book table, are priced as marked.
GSBS has Schuler Gift cards available for purchase. For
each $10 spent, $2.00 benefits UUCGL and you get to support this congregation as well as a
great local bookstore.
As always, Happy Reading
