Book Sale 2013

The Bookstore is Back!!!

The Friends Bookstore is glad to be reopening on a limited basis to serve our customers – old and new! Our donations have been coming fast and furiously so we have a plethora of sci-fi, fiction, non-fiction and now text books for virtual or home school help (science and math).  There is lots of media – audio books, CD’s, and DVD’s.  Every section is overflowing with great material just waiting on you!

The Bookstore is open. The store is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. and the first Saturday of each month from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m.

The Friends Bookstore on the First Floor of the downtown Central Library’s East Building is the single most important fundraiser for our organization. Volunteers operate the Bookstore under the supervision of our Donation Coordinator. Proceeds from the sale of books and other materials donated by the library and by individuals, as well as snacks and beverages, are used to administer the foundation and to support its mission of serving the library.  Because of the operation of the Bookstore, almost 100% of individual contributions to the Friends Foundation are used to benefit BPL.

Friends Bookstore thrives on your support through your donations. Friends may pick up from you if you have a large donation, are physically challenged, elderly, or have inadequate transportation. All donors are given a formal donation receipt.

If you want to arrange a donation to the bookstore or have any questions, contact our Donation Coordinator at 205-226-3676 or email us at Friendsbookstore@cobpl.org.

Come visit us in the Friends Bookstore and help support the Birmingham Public Library!
