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.

The Best Way to Shop Book Sale as a Friends Member!

Please join the Friends of the Library by January 31.

After January 31, memberships will close. We don’t want you to miss out, so please click here or the button below to get your Membership for as low as $15. 

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.

P.S. if you’re looking for a holiday gift for a book lover in your life these are the perfect gift!
