The Friends of The Temple Public Library used book sale is held semi-annually in February and the week prior to Labor Day. More than 45,000 books are presorted into over 90 categories and displayed on the library’s third floor. Most adult books are $1.00-$2.00 each and children’s books and media are less. Cash, check or credit cards are accepted for payment.
Book donations make the sales possible and account for 95% of the sale inventory. Donations are accepted year-round and can be taken to the circulation desk at the library.
The Friends of the Temple Public Library is a 501(c)3 charitable organization that has been giving back to Temple and surrounding communities since 1965.
