The library's large, annual used book sale is after Labor Day. The sale ends on Peach Days. Exact dates and times will be posted on the events calendar.
A small selection of used books is available year-round on the sale shelf in the library (main level, next to the stairs).
The sale could include books, cds, & DVDs, but the exact items vary from year to year. We do not keep a list of titles.
Magazines are usually sold in their own separate sale in December or January.
Where do the books come from?
Donations & discarded library materials.
The library keeps its collections healthy by discarding books which are in poor condition or no longer check out. Most of these materials end up in the sale.
We also sell items that were donated to us, but that we can't use (e.g. we already had a copy, didn't have room, etc.)
What forms of payment do you accept?
Cash, card, & check.
(No American Express or Venmo)
When are your magazines on sale?
December or January.
To make room for next year's issues, old magazines go on sale separately from the big September Peach Days book sale. The magazine sale is usually late December or January. Exact dates vary depending on when the new year's issues begin arriving.
What happens to the leftover books?
They are resold or recycled.
After being offered at the Library's public sale, unwanted books are collected to be resold or recycled.
