The Silver City Friends of the Library (FOL) is holding its September Book Sale on Saturday, September 13, at the FOL Bookstore, 1510 Market Street, 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.
Hardback and trade paperback books are priced at $1.00 each and paperbacks at $0.50 each. In some cases, books may be priced higher. Weather permitting, clearance item sales take place in the FOL parking lot where visitors can purchase a bag of books or other items (special bags are provided in the parking lot) at $2.00 per bag. There is no limit on the number of bags a visitor can buy.
"After a summer of bountiful book donations from our generous community, our shelves are filled with 'new to us' books, music CDs, and audio books for all ages, especially for children," said Barbara Guber, FOL Book Store Manager.
Inside the bookstore, Historical Fiction, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Young Adult, Horror, Mystery, Thriller, Classics, Literature and all non-Fiction collections have been refreshed with new selections. Visitors will find an entire room dedicated to West/Southwest books, fiction and non-fiction. A large collection of fabulous art books and coffee table books for purchase beckons perusal as one enters the bookstore. The Vintage Collection Room houses a variety of volumes published as early as the 1800s as well as general fiction and non-fiction audio books on CD and fully stocked shelves of Great Courses. Collectible vintage cartoon magazines are displayed on special shelves in the bookstore.
Guber continued "This Saturday's Parking Lot features oodles of hardback and paperback books of many genres, and lots of musical CDs. Folks can fill up supplied bags with as many or as few of these as they want for only $2/bag. Normally, these items sell for fifty cents to a dollar each, so this option is quite a deal and there is no limit on the number of bags a person can purchase.
Most of our children's books will also be sold for $2 per bag in the parking lot, again with no limit on the number of bags purchased."
The next book sale will be held on Saturday November 8, 2025.
The Friends of the Silver City Library invite the public to come and spend an autumn morning and early afternoon, perusing and finding treasures among its vast collection of books and other media, all donated through the generosity of Grant County residents.
The Friends of the Library accepts donations of books from the public and uses these to raise funds to support the Silver City Library's programs and activities. Donations can be placed in the Friends of the Library donation bins outside the Silver City Library main door. These are located to the right of the Library's bin for returning Library books. For further information regarding donations in general or for arranging pickup for large donations, please contact
Mark your calendars for the 2025 Friends of the Library book sales on the 2nd Saturday of each odd numbered month. The next sale will be on November 8, 2025.
