The Friends will hold a two-day book sale at the Tualatin Library on May 17-18, 2024.

On Friday, May 17th, doors open to the public from 3-6pm, and Friends members can gain early entry to our “Members only” pre-sale beginning at 2:00pm. Not a member? You can join at the door to gain early access. Memberships begin at $5.

Sale hours on Saturday, May 18th, are 10am-4pm. During the last hour of the sale you can buy an entire grocery bag of items for only $5.00!

We will be offering a diverse collection of fiction and non-fiction for adults along with plenty of children’s titles including board books, picture books, and chapter books. There will also be a small selection of DVDs and music CDs. Most book prices are in the 50 cent to $2 range with a few exceptions. We accept cash or credit/debit cards. Sorry, no checks. We look forward to seeing you there!

We’re taking a “Donation Vacation”

The Friends of the Library are not accepting book and media donations until after May 20th, 2024.

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.

2023 Accomplishments

Post published:March 6, 2024

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 hosted three book/media sales during 2023, raising just under $5,000 to help support our Tualatin Library.
We’ve raised an additional $14,000 via our ongoing sale shelves inside the library, membership dues, and other donations.
We donated $14,000 to the Tualatin Library in support of a variety of programs.
We are very proud to have our name atop the Donor Appreciation plaque in the library.
And, we developed a new logo! We think it’s perfect for us: bookish, fun, and colorful.

Our new logo debuted 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.
