Book Sales

Meet the primo volunteers Marian Beattie and Dinny Zinckgraf, with two of their recommendations.

Book sales are the cornerstone of fundraising for the Friends of the Library. We offer like-new and gently-used books and media for sale through the following on-site ways:

• Book Shop: Here you will find an ever-changing selection of overl 2,000 like-new books in many categories of fiction and non-fiction for adults, teens, and children. CDs and DVDs are also available. Open every day during Library hours in the rotunda.
• Monthly Book Sales: Held the 3rd Sunday afternoon of each month on the 2nd floor of the library from 1pm-4pm. Here we have our entire collection of donated books organized by subject and priced from $.50-$2.00.  Also check out our special selection of individually-priced vintage and collectible books in the Unique Book Nook, located in the rear corner of the Annex.
• Internet Sales: We also sell books online through TheBookForest.com
