FFAPL Book Sale

The Friends and Foundation of the Arlington Public Library (FFAPL) will be holding its annual Spring Book Sale from Tuesday, March 18 through Saturday, March 22, 2025.

FFAPL is a local nonprofit that works to bring together library lovers; promotes public awareness and community support and encourages gifts and fundraising to support the programs and services provided by the Arlington Public Library.

The Spring Book Sale fundraiser is returning to its home of thirty years at the Meadowbrook Recreation Center, 1400 East Dugan St. A wide collection of books, jigsaw puzzles, CDs, DVDs, and large print materials will be available. Most items are $1. Cash, checks, and credit cards with a $5 minimum will be accepted.

The 2025 Spring Book Sale schedule:

• Tuesday, March 18, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. - FFAPL member preview sale. Memberships available for purchase at the door.
• Wednesday, March 19, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. – open to the public
• Thursday, March 20, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. - open to the public
• Friday, March 21, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. - open to the public
• Saturday, March 22, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. - half price day for all. 4:15 to 6 p.m. – teacher and nonprofit sale ($5 suggested donation), all you can carry. ID required.

FFAPL will not accept book donations during the sale; however, a monetary donation may be made with the cashier. Book donations will continue the third Thursday and Saturday beginning in April.

Many of the Arlington Public Library’s programs and services have been possible due to the funding provided through FFAPL’s book sales and other events. FFAPL support also allows the Library to offer various programs for all ages throughout the year, such as early literacy, cultural programs, adult education, and maker programs. As a 501(c)3, FFAPL is also a conduit for various grants and corporate donations to help fund programming projects.

Without FFAPL's support, a large span of the programming currently offered would not be possible. Support FFAPL and the Arlington Public Library while you find great deals!
