Friday, April 11: 3 pm - 6 pm (Members Only) Saturday, April 12: 10 am - 5 pm Sunday, April 13: 10 am - 2 pm ($10 Bag Sale) The Friends Big Book Sale has thousands of great books and puzzles for all ages at bargain prices. It's never too early to start thinking about Mother's Day, graduation and summer reading! Friday is members only. If you're not a member, you can join or renew now or at the door and shop for book bargains before the sale opens to the public. To promote a safe environment in the busy Library lobby and facilitate a positive shopping experience for everyone, customers are expected to comply with Guidelines for Book Dealers and Other Large Order Customers, including a limit on the number of containers that can be stored in the lobby and purchased on any one visit (although multiple visits are welcome). All shoppers are encouraged to bring their own bags. Book dealers will be charged for extra boxes supplied by the Friends. The library parking lot will be very full during the sale. Additional parking for book sale customers is available in the back section of the Fast Med parking lot at 1407 East Franklin. |
Where Do Friends Books Come From? Community residents donate over 100,000 books each year to the library. These donations are processed by the Friends for sale through our Big Book Sales (20,000+ books at each sale), the Friends Online Book Store (6000+ books), and other venues to raise money for library collections, programs and services. |
