Book Sales by Chapters
of the
Friends of the San Diego Public Library
Many chapters of the Friends of the San Diego Public Library conduct used book sales at the library branches
with which the Chapter is affiliated.
Some Chapter book sales are held daily, some are held monthly, and some are held on selected days of the week.
Regardless of the frequency with which the sales are held, one thing is universally true: The books, CDs, and DVD are offered
at significant bargain prices—often just $1 per book.
Further, 100% of the proceeds of the book sales are used to fund programs, book purchases, and equipment needs at the library.
Purchasing books from the Friends' bookstores is a great way to enhance your own personal home library while supporting
the activities at San Diego Public Library branches.
With the improving public health situation, the San Diego Public Library has given the go-ahead for special Chapter book sales
and the re-opening of Chapter book stores.
The safety of our volunteers and customers is very important to us.
COVID protocols will be followed strictly.
Masks may be required for all per San Diego Public Library policy and to help keep our volunteers, customers, and the communities safe.
The following Friends of the Library chapters have special book sales planned in February and March.
