April 30 - May 4
BIG SPRING SALE
April 30 through May 4, shop our annual Big Spring Sale for grownups (no kids’ books at this sale), and find tens of thousands of gently used books in a wide range of categories.
Oh boy, here it comes! Our Big Spring Sale is back and we can’t wait to show you all the books we’ve been collecting...Thanks to our generous patrons, we came through our summer renovation closure with some great donations and are ready to welcome you in with open arms (and open boxes). We didn’t think it was possible, but we have even more books than we did last year, including some unusual books on world history, a planetary amount of excellent Sci-Fi, and other cool books donated from private collections.

Members Only Room - 1pm to 5pm

Pro Tip: Our smartest shoppers know, we restock every day!!! So if you’re not into crowds, skip Wednesday’s crush and come on an open sale day. With over 1000 boxes on hand for this sale, there will be literally tons of good books to find from Thursday through Sunday!
Help support reading and help support the library -- shop local and shop often, for great deals on tens of thousands of books!
