Book Sale Shopping and Donating Information:​
The Book Sale has been located at Westgate Mall for several years. This dedicated space has allowed us to have book sales on a regular basis. Recently we learned that we will have to vacate this space; we are hoping to find a new space at Westgate Mall. At this time, we do not have any book sale days scheduled. However, we continue to accept donations.
Every Tuesday, we accept gently used books, puzzles, audiobooks, DVDs, CDs, and games. You can drop off donations between 9:00 am and 3:00 pm. We reserve the right to close early as well as change the hours of operation for any reason. A dedicated team of volunteers generously offer their time and talents towards our Book Sale, working diligently to process the donated books to offer a new experience every time you visit!

​NOTE: Please do not donate damaged books with broken bindings, torn/missing pages, excessive highlighting, or notations. We can not accept books that are soiled, musty, smelly, yellowed pages, moldy with smoke or water damage. If the books you are donating are books that you would not give to a friend - please do not give them to us. It is a lot of work for our volunteers to have to dispose of books that can not be sold when they are not up to the standards of our sales. We appreciate your understanding.
The Mission of our Book Sale is to offer great reads at great prices to members in our community. Per our policy of many years, we respectfully request that Book Sellers as well as any persons looking for books to use for resale, do not come to our Tuesday sales to purchase books for resale. Booksellers may come on the second and/or third day of our larger multi day sales after twelve pm. We thank you in advance for understanding and honoring this policy.
