A five-day used book sale is coming to Vancouver this month and everything is $4 or less

Vancouver Public Library’s massive used book sale returns this month, and bookworms will be in page-turning paradise.

Friends of the Vancouver Public Library is hosting its popular Used Book Sale from Friday, Aug. 28 to Tuesday, Sept. 1 at the VPL’s main branch at 350 West Georgia St.

Head to the Alice McKay Room to discover over 50,000 books at bargain prices. In fact, titles start at just a toonie.

Friends of the VPL is a community of volunteers, fundraisers, and advocates that support the Vancouver Public Library. They also run book’mark, The Library Store, located inside the Central VPL Branch.

“We have been having this sale for many years so far, and it has always been a great opportunity to find excellent books at convenient prices,” Andrea Larrabe of Friends of the VPL previously told Daily Hive.

Browse through tables full of fiction, travel guides, food and drink books, children’s titles, and more during the largest used book sale in the community’s history.

There will also be CDs and DVDs up for grabs, with nothing costing more than $4.

All sales are final, and attendees are asked to bring their bags to carry their new finds home in.

Proceeds support special library projects in partnership with Friends of the Vancouver Public Library.

You can also support the Used Book Sale by donating your books, CDs and DVDs in good condition from Aug. 17 to 27 in advance of the main event.

Donations for the annual sale of any size can be dropped off at the VPL Central Library Loading Bay off Hamilton Street on weekdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Friends of the VPL also accepts donations of books, CDs and DVDs year-round, but only in smaller quantities of up to four boxes at a time, dropped off at book’mark.
