Used Book Sales

The Friends of the Library host two used book sales each year, a spring sale in April and a fall sale in September. The Friends also maintain a year-round sale in the main library next to the checkout desk. Friends of the Library memberships support the library and give you access to the Members Only Preview days at the book sale. All funds from the book sales and Friends memberships help support the library. Visit the Friends page to learn more.

The Friends accept donations for the used book sales all year. Items can be placed on carts in the library's lobbies. Anyone planning to make a large donation of items (30 boxes or more) should contact the Help Desk in advance so we can connect you with a Friends member. Please note that there are some items that the Friends do not accept, including:

  • Textbooks
  • Encyclopedias
  • Old magazines (more than one-year-old)
  • Hymnals
