Book sales

Need a beach read for the dog days of summer? You’ll find a nice selection at a super-low price at the Friends of Tualatin Library Ongoing Book Sale. Hardback fiction books have been marked down to 50¢ each. This sale will be ongoing until the end of August or until our inventory sells out. The special sale books are loaded onto the freestanding book case just inside the library’s front door; they’re available for purchase whenever the library is open. The Tualatin Library is located at 18878 SW Martinazzi Avenue, Tualatin, Oregon. Hours are posted on the library’s website.

We hope you’ll stop by the Friends semi-annual used book sale the first weekend in May to snag some great reads at exceptional prices. It will be held in the Library Community Room May 4th through 6th.

The first hour on Friday is the “Members Only” Pre-Sale, where current members of the Friends will have first pick of all sale material.

Here are all the sale dates and times:

• Friday, May 4 (Member’s Pre-Sale) — 2 pm to 3 pm
• Friday, May 4 (Open To All) — 3 pm to 6 pm
• Saturday, May 5 — 10 am to 4 pm
• Sunday, May 6 — 1 pm to 4 pm

During Sunday sale hours, regularly priced books will be $3 for a bag. Yellow-tagged items will be 50% off.

Most book prices are in the 50 cent to $1 range, except for some especially nice books and DVDs with prices as marked from $2-5. Credit cards are now being accepted for payment, as well as cash and checks.

If you’d like to volunteer to help at the sale, please contact Allison Austin, our book sale volunteer coordinator.

The Friends of Tualatin Library will host a special Used Media ONLY sale on Saturday, April 14, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the lobby of the Tualatin Public Library. An avalanche of recent donations means a great selection of used DVDs (movies, documentaries, foreign language films, and kids); audiobooks; and hundreds of CDs of every musical genre.

Prices are $1-2, or as marked for some special DVDs. Come early for the best selection. Cash, credit cards, and checks will be accepted for payment.

The Library is located at 18878 SW Martinazzi Ave. in Tualatin.

Looking for holiday stocking stuffers? The Friends of Tualatin Library is offering a selection of last minute gifts that will be featured from December 15 through Christmas in our ongoing book sale. This is an opportunity to pick up “like new” gifts for $3.00 or less. We have an assortment of books and media for all ages. Our sale books are on the shelves just inside the library’s front door.  The inventory changes daily, so it pays to check back often.

Friends of the Tualatin Library will be holding a Black Friday Weekend Sale November 24, 25, and 26 on the freestanding shelves at the library. All items on those shelves will be 50% off. There will be a variety of genres as well as media available.

Our inventory changes daily, so we invite you to check back often to see what’s new. We’ve received generous donations in recent weeks from the community and the library, so we have books and media that weren’t available at our big November sale.
