The Silver City Friends of the Library (FOL) is holding its November Book Sale on Saturday, November 8, 2025 at the FOL Bookstore, 1510 Market Street, from 10:00am-2:00pm.

Hardback and trade paperback books are priced at $1.00 each and paperbacks at $0.50 each. In some cases, books may be priced higher. Weather permitting, clearance item sales take place in the FOL parking lot where visitors can purchase a bag of books (special bags are provided in the parking lot) at $2.00 per bag. There is no limit on the number of bags a visitor can buy. 

 "Begin your holiday shopping with us," said Barbara Guber, FOL Bookstore manager. "A book is one of the most personal gifts you can give to someone close to you because it shows that you spent time thinking about what he or she is most interested in.  The gift of a book, especially a used book, is a symbol of giving forward—it can be shared with friends and with generations to come."

"Inside the Bookstore, Historical Fiction, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Young Adult, Horror, Mystery, Thriller, Classics, Literature and all the non-Fiction collections have been refreshed with new selections, , including books on electronic media," Guber continued.  "Also come wander through the selections in the parking lot.  So many tables laden with books that can be purchased by the bag.  Only $2.00 for each bag you can fill until it bursts its seams.  And, no limit on number of bags!"

This is the last FOL book sale of 2025.  The next will be held on Saturday January 10, 2026.

The Friends of the Silver City Library invite the public to come and spend a crisp autumn morning and early afternoon, perusing and finding treasures among its vast collection of books and other media, all donated through the generosity of Grant County residents.

The Friends of the Library accepts donations of books from the public and uses these to raise funds to support the Silver City Library's programs and activities. Donations can be placed in the Friends of the Library donation bins outside the Silver City Library main door. These are located to the right of the Library's bin for returning Library books.
