Book Sales
The Friends of Library hold Semiannual books sales that directly fund collection expansion as well as fund children’s as well as other community programs during the year. The books that are offered through these sales come from the existing library collection that are always being replaced and by ongoing donations, from the community.
We also accept donations from those kind patrons and friends who live out of the immediate community and state as well. The donations are tax deductible and depending on the books are at times added to the collection. If you are moving in to or away from the Sedona/ Verde Valley area we will pick up collections that you desire to donate. If you have a special collection that you wish to donate call us or visit the library.
Books can be donated at the circulation desk as you enter the library, just ask, and a volunteer will assist you.
As our donations increase so does our need for volunteers. We are always in need of volunteers that are able to price and shelve your donations. If you have computer and internet experience you can do research for pricing as well as online sales. We have a great need for those who can work the book sales during the day as well early evenings. For those of you who enjoy interacting with friends and a wonderful community who buy these books it is an excellent opportunity to perform a great service. Volunteers who have advertising experience in design and print layout are needed for our advertising in the print and the internet medias.
Volunteers need not spend more than a few hours a week to make an impact for these sales. Whether you are in high school or have extra time on your hands, young or older, we can certainly use you!
Ongoing Virtual Book Sales: Interesting and unique books are available for purchase by email. The selection is updated frequently.
