Friends of the Somerville Public Library Spring Book Sale (check for daily times)

The Friends of the Somerville Public Library will hold their Spring Used Book Sale on Friday May 18th 12-4 PM, Saturday May 19th 10-4 PM, and Sunday May 20th 1:30-3:30 PM. The sale will be held at the Central Library located at 79 Highland Avenue. (Preview evening for current Members of the Friends of the Somerville Public Library at the $50 level on Thursday May 17 from 5-8 pm.)

This year’s collection of books for sale includes most categories, but is particularly strong in History, Biography, Arts, Children's Literature, Foreign Language, lots of Audio-Video materials and there is always plenty of fiction. Plus, the Bake Sale is back this year!

All proceeds from the book sale are used to support cultural and educational programs at the library including the popular museum pass program. Leftover books will be donated to local non-profit groups.

The Friends of the Somerville Public Library is a not-for-profit organization that helps the library and its branches to provide programs, services and materials not covered by the library's normal operating budget. If you would like to become a member of the Friends, or volunteer to help with the book sale, please contact the Friends by email at: FriendsSomervillePublicLibrary@gmail.com or follow us on FB at https://www.facebook.com/FriendsOfTheSomervillePublicLibrary
