What's new for the 2025 Book Sale?

• Special Sunday, February 23 Shopping Hours

From 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., the Book Sale will be limited to 500 people at a time. There will be no loud announcements during these hours. Admission preference will be given to guests that need more time to get around with wheels or canes, and those guests who would like to attend our event, but struggle with sensory overload.

• Your Guide to the Book Sale with Tips and Tricks

Whether it’s your first Book Sale or your 30th Book Sale, we want to make it the best experience ever! That means making an online guide to help everyone navigate the Book Sale and outlining the best way to tackle the Book Sale as a Large Volume Buyer who purchases 100 items or more.

It is our goal that these expectations and guides will make the Book Sale an enjoyable experience for all who join us.

Love of books and reading inspired my volunteering with Friends, but making sure others have the opportunity to have a book of their own is why I help at both the sort site and sale.

I absolutely love reading, books and the library, and the Friends of the Library is the best place to (give/show) my support.

This has been so fun. It makes you feel young to be out here volunteering. It's very inspiring! I feel like I can do this for a long time!
