The Friends are taking a break from accepting book and media donations from April 20th through May 20th while we prepare for our Spring Book Sale. Please hang on to your donations until we are ready to accept them.
Feel free to review our Donation Guidelines to get prepared.
It’s that time of year again! The semi-annual Used Book Sale will be on Friday, May 17th from 3-6 pm and Saturday, May 18th from 10-4 pm in the Community Room of the Tualatin Public Library.
Current members can gain early entry to get first pick at our “Members Only” pre-sale on Friday from 2-3 pm. You can join at the door for early entry!
The sale will feature a large collection of books for all ages, some audio books and music CDs, as well as comic books and graphic novels for teens.
Most items are priced in the 50 cent to $2 range with exceptions for extra-nice books and DVDs which will be priced individually. Credit cards, cash, and checks are accepted.
We hope to see you there!
The past year saw us get back to a more normal mode of operation. Our yearly planning session helped us renew our commitment to supporting our Tualatin Public Library. Below are some of our major accomplishments in 2023.
We’re always looking for new Friends and volunteers
If you’re already a member of the Friends, please consider taking a more active role through volunteering. If you’re not a member, that’s OK, too. We’re small, but mighty…and sometimes we need more help to get all the things done. We’d love to chat with you about our opportunities. Jump over to our Contact form and send us a note.
The Friends of Tualatin Library have two volunteer opportunities:
Book Sale Co-Chair. The Friends host two community book sales per year, currently in May and November. We are looking for a co-chair to work with the current chair to plan and execute the sales. Responsibilities include publicity, volunteer recruitment, day-of-sale set-up, and close-of-sale shut-down. This job is a good one for those who enjoy event planning and have good communication skills. See our job description for more information.
Book Evaluator. The Friends receive book and media donations from the public throughout the year. Book evaluators review the donations and evaluate them for potential re-sale in our various sale venues. You might enjoy this job if you have good computer skills and a few hours each week to dedicate to this role. See our flyer for more information.
If either of these opportunities sound interesting to you, please contact us.
On Saturday, September 16, 2023, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the Friends of Tualatin Library will hold a special Electronic Media Sale in the lobby of the Tualatin Public Library. This sale will feature a wonderful collection of used DVDs, including adult, documentary, children’s, and TV series films, along with hundreds of music CDs. If you’re looking for Audiobooks on CD, we’ll have both fiction and non-fiction titles. We even have a small number of vinyl LP albums!
Prices are $2 for DVDs and audiobooks, $1 for CDs, or as marked for some special DVDs. Come early for the best selection. Cash and credit cards will be accepted for payment.
The Library is located at 18878 SW Martinazzi Ave. in Tualatin.
