Bookworms, rejoice. The sale your shelves have been craving is back — and this time with all-time low prices — as the CALS Used Book Sale returns this weekend, July 10-12.
As the CALS Main Library continues to undergo extensive renovations, the summer sale will take place at the Port Industrial Hub at 7773 Sloane Drive, where CALS administration offices are currently located. This will be the last sale of the year and the final one held at the hub before Main reopens this fall.
Sale hours are 2-5 p.m. Thursday and 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, where everything will be available for just $1 and educators receive a 25% discount. All dates are open to the public, with or without a Friends of Central Arkansas Libraries (FOCAL) membership.
The book sale is hosted by FOCAL and helps provide funds for the library’s Six Bridges Book Festival, Summer @ CALS, Arkansas Sounds concerts and other public programs across CALS’ 14 branch locations.
Throughout the year, CALS encourages neighbors to donate books to help fuel these seasonal sales. Donations can be made at most CALS locations Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m.
For more information on the sale, visit the CALS website, and follow along on Facebook, X and Instagram for updates.
