Do you love discovering unique finds and being surprised by hidden gems? If you haven’t been to a Friends of the Library book sale yet, you are missing out!

The next public sales are Saturday, Oct. 26 from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 27 from 1-3 p.m. Sales are held in the Library’s Jones Meeting Center.

Friends Book Sale Committee Chair Kathy Hall says, “Our bi-annual book sale is a great place to find an unexpected treasure or just your next great read. We always have a huge variety of adult and children’s books, DVDs, CDs, and even puzzles.”

The sale features thousands of donated items. There is something for everyone’s interests—from cooking, to sports, to gardening, to music—and literary tastes—from biographies, to romance, to fantasy, to fiction.

The Friends’ sale prices are unbeatable. Paperbacks cost $1 and hardbacks cost $3; children’s picture books are 2 for $1 and children’s chapter books are $1 each. CDs are 4 for $1 and DVDs are $1 each. People can also purchase a library tote bag full of books for $25.

At the Sunday sale, you can fill any size bag for only $5. Bags are provided at the sale for those who need them, but you’re encouraged to bring your own so that you can get more for your money!

In addition to the public Saturday and Sunday sales, Friends of the Library members are invited to a special preview sale on Friday, Oct. 25 from 5:30-7 p.m.

The Friends of the Johnson City Public Library is a group of supporters dedicated to the welfare and promotion of the Library. Sign up to become a Friends member online or in person at any of the book sales.
