Book Sale Policies/Procedures:
- You may go through the line as often as you like and may purchase up to 20 items each time.
- No stacking or hoarding - please carry your purchases with you. Books left unattended will be returned to their sale categories.
- Take your purchases to the 'tally table' where a volunteer will add them up, then take the 'tally slip' to the cashier table to pay.
- Payment must be made by cash or check. Sorry, but we have no way to process credit/debit transactions.
- During bag sales, books are not sold individually - you purchase a grocery bag from us, then fill it up with whatever you want!
- Please remember that everyone working at the sale is a volunteer!
General Info About Our Book Sales:
Our inventory depends on donations, but we typically have a large selection of excellent books in all major categories - computer/technology, fiction, literature, children's books, health, history, art, reference, etc. Book dealers are welcome!
We always have DVDs and CDs; we always have hundreds of paperbacks and we usually have a very large foreign language selection.
Our sales take place inside the library Program Room. To get there, go to the right immediately after coming in the library entrance door.
Members of the Friends get into most Saturday sales at 9am, an hour before the sale officially begins (and an hour before the library actually opens). Membership is only $5 per year for individuals or $10/year for a family, and you can join on the spot at every sale to get in immediately!
The Friends of the Sunnyvale Library is a 100% volunteer organization. All proceeds from our sales benefit the Sunnyvale Library. Your purchases help pay for adult and children's programs and many library improvements that would not otherwise be able to be made.
THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING THE FRIENDS OF THE SUNNYVALE LIBRARY!
