Friends Of The Library Big Fall Book Sale Underway

September 28, 2018

It’s time to refresh your bookshelves at the Friends of West Florida Public Library’s Big Fall Book Sale  through Sunday at the Main Library on Spring Street.

Thousands of hardcover, paperback, and collectible books will be available for purchase, plus a variety of DVDs, CDs, puzzles and other items. Proceeds are used to fund programs and enhancements at West Florida Public Library (WFPL) branches.

On Saturday,  the book sale will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with free admission for all shoppers and reduced prices.

Sunday is the final day of the book sale, with free admission and the popular $5 Bag Sale from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. For just $5, shoppers will get as much as will fit in a provided brown paper grocery bag.  Carts will be available to help carry the bags to vehicles.

Book sale items include thousands of donations from the public and some library books retired from circulation, many of them now out-of-print. Novels and mysteries are sorted by author or into genres like science fiction and westerns. Other book categories include arts and entertainment, children’s, cookbooks, history, holidays, home and hobbies, literature, foreign language, military, modern living, nature and gardening, religion, science, sports, technical and travel. There are also recorded books, magazines and other media for sale.

The Collector’s Corner will feature an assortment of signed books, pre-1950s books, books by local and Florida authors, and other special books that are great for gifts. These items are priced as marked and must be checked out separately, so shoppers paying by check should bring at least two checks.

Payment by cash or check is preferred, but credit cards are welcome.

Friends of West Florida Public Library is a non-profit support organization of the West Florida Public Library.
