Program Description

Event Details

The Friends Big Book Sale has thousands of great books and puzzles for all ages at bargain prices — just in time for holiday shopping! 

Friday is for Friends members only, including our popular after-hours Sip & Shop where members can bring a guest and enjoy free wine, light food and desserts while shopping. If you're not a member, you can join or renew now or at the door.

To promote a safe environment in the busy Library lobby and facilitate a positive shopping experience for everyone, customers are expected to comply with the Guidelines for Book Dealers and Other Large Order Customers, including a limit on the number of containers that can be stored in the lobby and purchased on any one visit (although multiple visits are welcome!)

Shoppers are encouraged to bring their own bags for all three days. Book dealers will be charged for extra boxes supplied by the Friends.

The library parking lot will be very full during the book sale. Additional parking for sale customers is available in the back section of the Fast Med parking lot at 1407 East Franklin.

 

Friday, December 5: 2 pm - 5:30 pm (Members Only) 
Sip & Shop 7 pm - 9 pm (Members Only with Guest)
Saturday, December 6: 10 am - 5 pm
Sunday, December 7: 10 am - 3 pm ($10 Bag Sale)
