Join us Sept. 30-Oct. 3 in the Central Library Parking Garage (upper level) for Arlington's longest running recycling program, the biannual Friends of the Arlington Public Library Book Sale.
In order to give the Friends enough space to organize and coordinate the sale (which is pretty darn big), donations will be suspended at Central Library through Oct. 9. Thanks for understanding.
The Friends have held a book sale to benefit the Arlington Public Library since 1976, when it was an annual event. According to the August 1977 "Newsletter to the Friends of the Arlington County Library" (available in the Virginia Room), the May 1977 sale raised $1600 over two days. Proceeds from the Friends that year went to fund purchase of the Columbia Historical Society Records, juvenile programming supplies, Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys books, magazine subscriptions for Central and the branches, and more. Today, money earned through the Friends continues to support Library programming and collections, including our One Book - One Community program, Arlington Reads.
Volunteers are still needed for the Fall sale - email [email protected] to find out how you can help!
