| Book Sale FAQs |
1. How often are the book sales?
Book sales are held twice each year. The next sale will be held on March 8th - 10th, with Friends Night on
March 7th.
2. What is Friends' Night?
Current Friends members can purchase books the night before the sale is open to the general public. Friends
memberships can be purchased at the door that evening.
3. What do the books cost?
Paperback books are 50 cents per inch and hardbacks are $1 per inch. Choice books are those that are
published in the last two years or those that are considered special. These books, and Old and Unusual Books
(those published more than 50 years ago) are twice the price - $1 for paperbacks and $2 for hardbacks. DVD’s
are $3.50 each, CD’s $2 and records (vinyl) are 50 cents each. Books on tape and CD are various prices,
according to length.
4. Where is the Book Sale held?
Due to library renovation,the book sale will be held at the Heymann Center on South College Road.
5. What is the Silent Auction?
A number of special books will be offered in a silent auction. These books are housed in cases at South
Regional Library beginning at least two weeks prior to each sale.
6. Where are the books obtained for the sales and perpetual sales?
The Friends get their books from two sources. One source is the library itself. Books that are discarded are
purchased by the Friends and sold. The other source is donations. Many people have discovered that they can
“recycle” their books by donating to the Friends.
7. What kinds of books do you accept?
Books that are in good condition, with computer books and travel guides no older than five years. Also accepted
are National Geographics magazines. Sorry, please no books that are mildewed or torn. As a rule of thumb, if
you wouldn’t want it in your home, the Friends probably can’t use it either.
8. How can I donate my books?
Due to renovations, books can no longer brought to the main library on W. Congress St. Please bring donations
to the Library's working warehouse on Refinery Street and Pinhook Rd, located next to Habitat for Humanity
Restore. Check out map on the home page for directions and times. Please ring the bell near the entrance for
assistance. A staff member can also issue a receipt for tax purposes.
9. How can I volunteer?
If you would like to volunteer for the sale, please indicate on your membership form, or use the Friends' contact
form. Volunteers are needed for move down preceding the sale and for working as cashiers during the sale.
Volunteers are also needed to help straighten the books throughout the sale. If that fits more into your schedule,
please feel free to just show up and straighten!
