Friends Of The Library Book Sale This Week In Alameda

ALAMEDA, CA — Book lovers have the opportunity to snag a few good reads, or an entire bag stuffed with books, at the Friends of the Alameda Free Library Book Sale starting Wednesday.

The used book sale will run Wednesday through Saturday in the Stafford Room at the Main Library, 1550 Oak St.

The Friends website encourages readers to "Come check out hundreds of used books in all genres including children’s books, fiction, memoir, cookbooks and more, plus DVDs, CDs, and archival-quality magazines."

On Wednesday, the Teacher's special will offer books for $5-a-bag. Teachers only!

The $5-a-bag offer is open to everyone on Saturday.

During the duration of the Used Book Sale, Wednesday through Saturday, the Books for Friends bookstore, also located in the library, will have a BOGO offer. That offer is at the bookstore, not at the Used Book Sale.

"The sale and store are in close proximity to one another," Joanne Schneider, FAL Board Member & Book Sale Team Member told Patch in an email. "The other thing to know about the bookstore is it is open year-round."
