Book Sale

Friends Book Sale

We do not have an annual sale, but instead we have an ongoing sale of materials. Proceeds go to the WDM Library Friends Foundation and help the Library buy new materials. 

The sale shelves are on the 1st floor, in the atrium toward the back. Any staff member can direct you.

We generally have books, paperbacks and magazines. Materials are put out as they are ready, so it pays to check back often.

Items can be paid for at the First Floor Service Desk. Prices per item are as follows (as of 3/15/24):

  • $2.00 for all hardcover books
  • 50 cents for all paperback books
  • 50 cents for magazines
  • All other items as marked

Thank you for supporting the Library!
