We know you’ve been waiting–so have we. It’s our annual used book sale–finally. And it will be our biggest one ever!
For everyone’s safety, COVID protocols will be in place. See details below under tab EVENT DETAILS.
We are no longer accepting donations of books for our sale. Many thanks to those who have given so generously.
This sale will take place on the portico outside the library, adjacent to the Farmer’s Market. Entrance will be from the parking lot only. Shoppers will progress along the north side of the building, then toward the library’s front door where cashiers will be stationed.
- 8:30 am – Sale begins
- 4:00 pm – Sale ends
Our biggest used book sale ever will feature thousands of paperback and hardcover books. Prices are $1 for paperbacks and $2 for hardcovers with some vintage or limited edition books at a higher price. Children’s books are 2 for $1. Some of the book categories are biographies, fiction, children’s, cooking, self-help, history, military history, hobbies, and travel. Two new categories this year are Civil War and science fiction.
To make shopping easier this year, fiction titles will be sorted by author.
Funds raised benefit the Modesto Library and its customers. FOML-funded projects this year include replacing the fish tank, upgrading furniture in the children and teen areas, and children’s and adult programming at the library.
If possible, bring a bag to carry your purchases. We will have a limited number of bags and boxes available.
Cash preferred; checks accepted with ID.
