Giant Book Sale: Friends of the Library

Proceeds from this all-volunteer project help support Eugene Public Library. Funds go to purchasing borrowable books and other items, Summer Reading gift books for children and teens, and events and activities for all ages from storytimes to job searching.

Shoppers can browse thousands of gently-used and like-new books, most at the bargain price of only $2. Choices include fiction and nonfiction in paperback and hardcover, all genres, recent bestsellers, and rare and specialty books. Also for sale will be DVDs, audio books, music books, music CDs, novelties, and a large selection of children's books, DVDs, and CDs.

The sale accepts cash or credit and debit cards (no checks). Please bring your own bag or box to carry your treasures away. Members of the Friends of Eugene Public Library will be offered an early admission opportunity.

The Book Sale is the Friends of Eugene Public Library's major fundraiser each year. Over 400 volunteers work on the Book Sale, many year-round. To volunteer at the book sale, email booksalevolunteer@gmail.com. For more information about the sale or to join the Friends, visit www.friendseugenelibrary.org. 

Note to shoppers: If you come to the Book Sale after noon on Saturday, or anytime on Sunday, you can walk right in. Or if you want to be among the very first to enter, here are two ways to do that:

• Join the Friends of the Library: members are offered early admission on Saturday at 8 a.m.
• Or come to the Book Sale entrance on Saturday starting at 7 a.m. to pick up a free general admission ticket (one per customer). Then return a little before 9 a.m. and join the line in ticket number order.
