No, that’s not Harry Potter. It’s Joshua, a shopper at the Friends of Tualatin Library book sale. Joshua found some excellent bargains in our anime section — both books and DVDs.

There are still a lot of bargains left and two more shopping days. On Saturday May 14, we’re open 10 am to 4 pm. Our Sunday sale hours are 1 pm to 4 pm. On Sunday regularly priced books will be $2 for a bag (bag is provided) and media and special priced items will be 50% off.

Hope to see you there.

A huge inventory of used books and an extra Sunday sale day will give shoppers the chance to pick up loads of books and media materials for the summer at the Friends of the Library Used Book Sale in May.

We will hold our semi-annual Used Book Sale on Friday, May 13 from 3—6:00 p.m.; Saturday, May 14 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.; and now on Sunday, May 15 from 1—4:00 p.m. in the Community Room of the library. During Sunday sale hours, regularly priced books will be $2 for a bag (bag is provided) and media and special priced items will be 50% off. The best selection will be available on Friday afternoon and bargain prices on Sunday.

The huge inventory of items for this sale includes:

• Fiction and non-fiction titles for adults and children
• Lots of audiobooks for road trips and commuters
• DVDs (fiction, non-fiction, TV series)
• A large number of children’s picture books
• Juvenile books for children 6-12 years of age; and young adult books including graphic novels and manga in the “Bargain Tent”
• Tons of paperback science fiction

Most book prices are in the 50 cent to $1 range, but there will be a good selection of especially nice books and DVDs with prices as marked from $2-5. Just a reminder that credit cards are now being accepted for payment, as well as cash and checks, so there is no reason you can’t pick up books for gifts or to add to your own collection.

We can always use volunteers to help with the sale, especially since we are expanding our hours to Sunday. Please contact Allison Austin at [email protected] at or leave your name and phone number at the Library Help Desk if you are interested.
