More Than a Book Sale: Celebrating 25 Years of Community, Literacy, and Reading Joy

This year, Hachette Book Group celebrated a major milestone: the 25th annual $1 Book Sale at our distribution facility in Lebanon, Indiana.

As Publishers Weekly recently highlighted, this year’s sale was our largest yet, welcoming more than 6,000 attendees and donating more than 10,000 books to the local community, with a portion of proceeds benefiting Indy Book Project.

The event also featured a free children’s book giveaway as part of Raising Readers, Hachette’s social impact initiative dedicated to promoting reading for pleasure among children and families.

As we celebrate Hachette’s 200th anniversary, we’re proud to continue investing in programs and partnerships that help more people discover the joy and lifelong benefits of reading.

Thank you to Publishers Weekly for featuring the event and to everyone who helped make this year’s sale such a success.

Ilyasah Shabazz penned a beautiful Father's Day piece for Oprah Daily about seeking wisdom from a father she never knew.

In her new book, Malcom in the Desert, Shabazz extracts keen lessons about the value of slowing down, listening deeply, and remembering who we truly are. She calls us to respond to crisis with courage, to meet grief with love, to rediscover faith as a creative force for change, and to dream in more revolutionary colors. These pages paint a new picture of Malcolm X through compassionate prose and galvanizing historical insight that shine alongside Jungian, Buddhist, and Islamic principles and wisdom from leading poets and scholars. Shabazz ties it all together with simple practices to help us answer three central questions: Who are you? What do you care about? What is yours to do?

Ilyasah Shabazz was only a toddler when her father was assassinated. Decades later, she writes about ginger cookies, jazz, butterflies—and the details that still bring him closer.
