Library Book Sales

The San Diego Public Library provides a number of regular, branch, monthly, and special book sales. Below is the general information about our book sales to the public. You can use this link to view any book sales in our Calendar of Events.

• Central Library Book Sales
  
  The Central Library's book sales are run by the Friends of the Central Library every Friday and Sunday, during the times Central Library is open. Central Friends (a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation) will be happy to receive your tax-deductible donations of new and used books, records, tapes, CDs, etc. to help maintain the Book Sales. Donations may be taken to Central Library during the Book Sale hours only. For special arrangements to pick-up donations, contact Central Friends at 619-236-5836 (machine), or 619-463-4333, or call the Central Library at 619-236-5800.
  
  As part of its support for the San Diego Public Library, the City of San Diego has joined all of the Friends groups in a dollar-for-dollar "Matching Fund" program, to double the amount of your donations. We are grateful for the support.



• Branch Book Sales
  
  Daily Book Sales are run by Friends of Libraries' groups at the below Branch libraries, during most of the open hours of the branches. Books and other materials are sold at great low prices, and all proceeds benefit Library programs. Because the book sale hours can vary, depending on varying schedules of our volunteers and friends, we recommend you check via phone with the Library branch before visiting for a daily book sale at these branches.
