Visit the Book Bin in Corvallis on July 16th to help raise funds for the historic Whiteside Theater. 20% of Book Bin sales will be generously donated to The Whiteside Theater.

To celebrate turning 40, The Book Bin will be partnering with community nonprofits: on a set day each month, 20% of sales (in-store, over the phone, and on bookbin.com) will be donated to a partnering organization.

The Corvallis Book Bin was opened by Bob and Maria Baird in 1983. Naomi and Obadiah were two and three years old. The four Bairds plus Obadiah’s wife Kat continue to run The Book Bin 40 years later.

The Book Bin is and has always been committed to Corvallis, to Salem, and to thriving Oregon downtowns.
