Library Book Sale This Week: May 1 – 3

Local Artists’ Work for Sale
Besides our usual inventory, this month’s Book Sale will offer artwork by renowned local artists, many of them associated with the well-regarded UCD Art Department from its inception.  The Friends of the Davis Public Library is grateful for this donation of artwork from the Davis Art Center, which is deaccessioning its collection.  Sale proceeds will help the FDPL to fund a variety of the Davis Public Library’s programming, inventory and equipment needs. 

The works span decades and will be sold on a first come/first served basis, with a silent auction for sales of pieces by Robert Arneson and Roland Petersen.  Other featured artists include: Richard Nelson, Margery Mann, and Obata Chiura among others.  Throughout the weekend’s sale, as pieces sell and are removed, new pieces will be put on display.   Be sure to come back throughout the weekend!

Any remaining artwork at the Sale’s end on Sunday, May 3, will be on display and still for sale in the Blanchard Room throughout May.   For those purchases, buyers can pay until 5:30 each day at the Donations Room next to the Blanchard Room.  ApplePay, GooglePay and credit cards are accepted. 

The FDPL will continue this sale of artwork in August.
