The spring 2026 YWRC Book Sale will be held at the 4-H Exhibits Building of the Iowa State Fairgrounds.

The sale will return to full size for the Spring 2026 sale, held over Memorial Day Weekend. We’ll have thousands of books and media items for you to browse and purchase – all for great prices and a worthy cause.

Proceeds from the YWRC Book Sale will support local girls and young women so they may be strong, self-confident, and resilient. Because of supporters like you, they have the tools and skill sets necessary to overcome adversity, bolster their self-worth, gain key information to have healthy
