Our Book Sales directly support library programs including our Summer Reading Programs.

Public Sale

April 25th & 26th | 9:30am-2:00pm

Open to all members of the community.

We are accepting donations of gently used books in good condition. Please drop off your donations in the donation bins in the back of the library. Follow the “delivery” signs in the parking lot to the back of the Library where you will find the donation bins.

The Library has sales in the lower lobby on a daily basis. These books are priced to sell!

Book Sale Donations

In order for the Library’s Book Sales to be successful, we rely on donations from you. Most of our materials are in beautiful and almost new condition. That is exactly what we want! 

We cannot accept:

  • Moldy, musty, broken, dirty or otherwise undesirable books
  • Encyclopedias and textbooks
  • VHS and cassette tapes
  • Magazines
  • Home-made DVDs or CDs

All donations must be brought to the outdoor bins in the back of the building.

174-b of New York’s Executive Law (solicitation of charitable contributions): Upon request, any patron may ask for and obtain a copy of the use of Book Sale funds. To request this information, contact our Library Director, Darlene Alessi.

Book Sale Volunteers

Join Our Book Sale Team

Suffern Free Library Book Sales are entirely run by volunteers. There are various opportunities for volunteering including weekly work sorting items and emptying donation bins. Other ways to volunteer include working on the day of the Book Sale in various ways. Most Book Sale work requires physical labor.

To volunteer at the Book Sale, please contact the Library through the website or call the Library at (845) 357-1237. You may also visit one of our Book Sales and speak with Joyce Nencetti.

Why Volunteer?

First and foremost is the people; the staff is cheerful, welcoming, and they make me feel that my job is important and special. There are no age qualifications and no library experience needed. The library belongs to the community and giving back is important to me. It also allows me to keep up with the latest books. The world of information is changing so quickly, so there will always be an ongoing need for help.
