Book Sales
The Friends host seven (yes, 7!) amazing sales every year. We gather donations year round to offer gently used, good condition books and other materials of all shapes and sizes and genres. Prices are low, quality is high!
Come to the Reston Regional Library and see how our amazing team of volunteers turn lobby space into a book boutique at our Mystery, Holiday, and Puzzle Sales. Marvel as twice a year we magically and *simultaneously* produce both a Teen Sale and a Children's & Educators Sale - just in time for Spring Break and Back to School.
And when you're ready for the big show, shop to your book loving heart's content when we assemble over 50,000 excellent condition items to transform an empty meeting room into the largest used book store in Fairfax County at our Huge Semi-Annual Sales.
