THE BEST BARGAINS IN TOWN!

The Friends of the Hershey Public Library’s 37th Annual Book Sale will take place on Saturday, August 4 to Thursday, August 9 at the Hershey Public Library. The Library will be on closed Friday, August 3rd until 6 pm so volunteers can prepare for the sale.  Friday, August 3rd from 6 to 8 pm is the popular Preview Night which is only open to Friends members who can enjoy making early purchases of the best bargains before the sale opens to the public.

Become a Friends member or renew membership at the Preview Night, or go to the Friends website. Membership categories are: Individual $15, Family $30; Patron $50; or Benefactor $100 or more. Joining at the Individual or Family Member level entitles you to purchase up to 20 books on Friends Preview Night at the annual Book Sale. If you upgrade beyond the Member level, you will be entitled to purchase up to 40 books.

The book sale includes DVD’s, CD’s, audio books, music, maps, magazines, and books for all ages.  Books are sorted by general topics, such as, cookbooks, romance, textbook, foreign language, art, children, etc.  There is also a special section of the more valuable books with special pricing. The Friends raise funds primarily through Membership and the annual Book Sale.  These funds are used to support the following programs and activities at the Library: Adult Programs, Adult Reading Groups, Distinguished Author Visit, Children’s Series Programs, Children’s Summer Reading Programs, Teen Summer Reading Programs, and Special Library Collections.
