Members Day will be on the Thursday before the sale opens to the community.  Hours for Members Day will be 9 am – 6 pm for all members.

Scanners and electronic devices are not allowed at the book sales. Resellers are welcomed, please leave the electronic devices at home.

We had several positive comments from customers about the new “no scanning” policy during the October sale.

“Much more enjoyable and relaxed atmosphere”

“Felt like I could take my time to look at the books without feeling pressured”

We’re glad you appreciate the change and will continue this policy.

Bag Days – We’re going green!  We will be selling our own Friends book bags throughout the sale.  They are reusable, environmentally-friendly, and can support up to 22 pounds.  The bags will cost $1.00.  On Bag Days, you can fill up the bag for only $5.00.  Bags can be purchased at the entrance and customers will pay the cashier for each full bag as they exit.  If you only want to purchase a book or two, you’ll still be able to buy “by the book” at regular price.
