    Friends of the Library Book Sale

    Each year, the Friends of the Tompkins County Public Library holds two book sales, one in the Spring and another in the Fall, to benefit the Tompkins County Public Library (TCPL), the Finger Lakes Library System (FLLS) and organizations working for literacy in Tompkins County.

    TCPL   FLLS

    The number of items available for each sale usually exceeds 250,000. Books, audio books, CDs, DVDs, records, puzzles, and games are items found at the Book Sales. Children's Corner is especially well-stocked and Collector's Corner is a separate area housing many unique items of special interest which are priced individually.


    Thanks to our many volunteers, our sales have been extremely successful. We offer a further thanks to those who donate books and to those who buy them at our sales so that we may continue to support the libraries in our community.

    We'd like to thank these organizations and their volunteers
    for sponsoring a shift during the Spring 2013 Book Sale:
