UofL's Honors Student Council

Welcome to the Honors Student Council Book and Media Sale Information Headquarters! If you’re here, you probably have a question about the upcoming Book and Media Sale (unofficially the largest in all of Louisville!). Below are links to the answers of several popular questions:

• What is the Book and Media Sale?
• When is it?
• How do I get there?
• Where can I park?

If you have any other questions not answered in one of those links, just write it in the comment box below! We’ll get back to you as soon as we can. THANK YOU, and we look forward to seeing you at the sale April 3-7, 2012!

Thanks to all of our wonderful donors, we’ve reached 30,000 items! With the Book and Media Sale rapidly approaching, we have become overwhelmed with donations and are unable to coordinate any new pick-ups. If you would still like to drop off donations, we will be accepting them during the regularly scheduled Book and Media Sale hours.

It’s great that you’re interested in coming to the Book and Media Sale (unofficially the biggest in all of Louisville!), but now it’s time to figure out parking. First, make sure you know how to get to the Red Barn on the University of Louisville’s Belknap Campus (or click here if you don’t!). We’ll have signs up around the University of Louisville directing you to the right parking lot, but here’s a run-down of the details just in case: 

•  PREVIEW NIGHT! Tuesday, April 3: 6:00 – 9:00 p.m.($10 entry fee)
  • Park in the Red Barn parking lot! It’s as easy as that.

• Wednesday, April 4 thru Friday, April 6: 9:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.
  • Before 5:00 p.m.: Due to the number of students on campus, you are asked to either pay to park in one of the University of Louisville’s accommodating parking garages or find street parking. No matter where you are, you’re only a couple of minutes from the Red Barn!
  • After 5:00 p.m.: Feel free to park in the Red Barn parking lot!

• Saturday, April 7:9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
  • Many students go home over the weekend, so there will be abundant parking on the last day of the Book and Media Sale. You can park either in the Red Barn parking lot or the adjacent University Club parking lot.
