Upcoming Events

Member Book Giveaway

We'll be out thanking our members with one of our popular book giveaways on the Library plaza (or in Room D if raining!) Members will be able to choose a book from a great selection for both adults and children.

Saturday, October 25

10:00 am - 3:00 pm

If you're not a member you can join or renew now or in person on the plaza to pick up your free book. We hope to see you in October!

Friday, December 5: 2 pm - 5:30 pm (Members Only)

Sip & Shop 7 pm - 9 pm (Members Only with Guest)

Saturday, December 6: 10 am - 5 pm

Sunday, December 7: 10 am - 3 pm ($10 Bag Sale)

The Friends Big Book Sale has thousands of great books and puzzles for all ages at bargain prices - just in time for holiday shopping!

Friday is for Friends members only, including our popular after-hours Sip & Shop where members can bring a guest and enjoy free wine, light food and desserts while shopping. If you're not a member, you can join or renew now or at the door.

To promote a safe environment in the busy Library lobby and facilitate a positive shopping experience for everyone, customers are expected to comply with the 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!)

Shoppers are encouraged to bring their own bags for all three days. Book dealers will be charged for extra boxes supplied by the Friends.

The library parking lot will be very full during the book sale. Additional parking for sale customers is available in the back section of the Fast Med parking lot at 1407 East Franklin.

Friends Funds at Work
Friends of Chapel Hill Public Library raise more than $175,000 for the Library each year from the sale of books donated by the community, membership dues and donations, and events. In addition to an annual pledge of support for collections, programs, and services, the Friends fund a variety of special projects:

Explore More In Pritchard Park provides outdoor experiential learning opportunities in science, nature and the environment.

The Circulator brings staff, collections and services into the community.

The Summer Blast creates a fantastic season of story times, book clubs, special performances and summer reading programs for children and families.

The Welcome Hub provides a new modern service point for Library users.

Sixteen additional parking spaces in the Upper Lot facilitate access by easing parking congestion for Library users.

The programs and services the Library provides to our community would not make as much of a positive impact without the financial support provided by the Friends through annual memberships, book sale proceeds and other activities. These funds are put to use enhancing every aspect of the Library. We love our Friends!
