Friends of the Library
Book Sales

The Book Sale is the largest fundraising event for the Friends of the Oak Ridge Public Library and is held multiple times throughout the year. These events would not be possible without the volunteers and library staff who make them happen. During the Book Sale, the FOL offers a large selection of items, including books, DVDs, puzzles, and more, at low prices, with each Book Sale usually lasting three to four days.

Kinds of Sales

Each day of the Book Sale is typically dedicated to a specific type of sale:

  • An FOL Members Sale (first day)
  • An Open to the Public Sale (second day)
  • A Specialty Sale (third and fourth days)

In addition to these sales, the FOL Book Sale can also feature events like book giveaways and silent auctions.


Items and Pricing

Most print (books, magazines, maps, etc. ) and nonprint (DVDs, CDs, puzzles, etc.) items are priced at 50 cents or $1.00. Pricelists for specific types of items are available at the Book Sale.


Payment Types

The FOL accepts cash, check, and all major credit and debit cards.
