Saturday, August 10 through Sunday, August 11 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The Summer Book Sale will be held in the Hobby, Arts & Crafts Building at 3100 General Pershing Boulevard at the OKC Fairgrounds. This sale is free and open to the public.
• A smaller version of the original!
In a different building for the Summer, we’ll offer the same or similar items to what is offered in our General Room during our Winter sale. Better Books will not be offered at this event.
Prices will be the same as at our Winter sale – $2 hardback, $1 paperback, with children’s items half that price.
Members who join online between July 1 and our Summer Sale event can enjoy an exclusive shop on August 8 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Members will show their membership receipt electronically or on a printed receipt at the Summer Sale member event, or check in by name. Click on the member link below after July 1 to join!
Volunteers will not have a preshop opportunity at this event, but will be invited to an after-sale take-away event.
• Your Guide to the Summer Sale with Tips and Tricks
Parking is free and restrooms will be on-site. We accept cash, credit and debit cards. Please do not bring large, bulky carts that prevent shopping flow.

What does this mean for my tickets to the Members Only Shopping Experience? Book Sale tickets are sent by mail after memberships close on January 31. If you do not receive your tickets, Members should check in at the Will Call table between noon and 5 p.m. on Friday, February 21. Tickets and memberships will not be available for purchase after January 31 to help maintain crowd control and customer service for all members.
