Monthly Book Sale

Beginning the first Friday of each month, the Friends holds its three-day sale of used books (both adult and children), CDs, DVDs, LPs, puzzles, and magazines. Known for its great prices and vast variety of quality books, the Davis sale is considered one of the best used book sales of Northern California.

The public is welcome and members at all levels have the added benefits of receiving $2 off at each sale and emails of sale dates to make sure they don’t miss any opportunities to come. We look forward to seeing you!

The sale is fueled by donations of used books and materials from the community and is always generously stocked. No scanning allowed on Fridays; scanning welcome Saturdays and Sundays.

Sundays at the Sale are “bag days” – fill up a standard grocery-sized bag and pay just $10 (as many times as you like).
