How to find Used Books

Library and Estate Sales

Libraries and estate sales are excellent places to find used items and books. Libraries receive book donations from the public every day and often have surplus inventory to sell. Some libraries have their own bookstores, which are operated by the Friends of the Library (FOL). The FOL is a non-profit organization that organizes sales, promotes membership, and provides resources for the community. The money they raise is used to purchase supplies and support community programs. 

Libraries hold book sales to sell their donations. They offer a wide variety of products at a fair price. You can find many of these sales on www.booksalelibrary.com and www.booksalefinder.com. You can keep track of upcoming sales by checking each website and putting them on your calendar. We recommend that you create a calendar in which monthly sales are automatically repeated. We use Google Calendar, Fantastical 2, and iCloud Calendar to keep track of events.
