Annual Booksale begins Oct. 25 for cardholders; Oct. 26 for general public!

Doors open at 9am on Friday, October 25 for the Friends of the Library’s annual, two-week-long, gigantic fall booksale at the Dover Public Library. Only library cardholders will be able to purchase items on the first day of the sale so be sure to bring your Dover borrower’s card with you on the 25th! The sale opens to non-cardholders and the general public at 9am on Saturday, October 26.

Thousands of paperbacks, hardcover books, and media items for all ages will be available at prices from $.50 to $2.00. Many of the sale items are books donated to the library, while others are items discarded from the library’s collections. Booksale prices will be further reduced on Wednesday, October 30, and during Week #2 of the booksale, November 4-10, the remainder of the items will be sold for the bargain price of just $1.00 per bag or boxful. Any leftover books will be given away for free beginning Tuesday, November 12.  

The library requests that no further book donations be made. Donations will again be accepted after November 18.

All proceeds benefit the Friends of the Library, a 501(c)3 charitable organization which last year donated over $15,000 to the library for museum passes, children’s and adult programs, furnishings and equipment. Applications to join the Friends of the Library are available at the library’s circulation desk.

Membership is $15 annually or $10 for seniors. Friends who work at the booksale receive a 50% discount on purchases.
