Summer Kickoff Book Sale!

Saturday, 6/18/22 from 10am to 2pm

The Friends are sponsoring a summer book sale from 10am-2pm inside the library. Every genre conceivable....adult and children's books, DVDs...there's something for everyone! Not only will you get to stock up your shelves, you'll be supporting the Friends of the Library too which funds all of the incredible programming the Roxbury Library provides to you and your family.

We want your gently used books!!

The Friends of the Roxbury Library are collecting gently used books & DVDs in the library driveway on Saturday, June 11th from 10am-1pm. PLEASE only bring items that you or your neighbors would presumably purchase at a used bookstore...Books that haven't seen the light of day in 20 years are not good candidates and will only be recycled due to the extremely limited shelf space. Books that are moldy will be tossed out on sight.

Book Donation Criteria

Hardcover, Paperbacks, DVDs are all good.
NO magazines. That includes bound magazines. Yes even Reader's Digest.
NO mold (you'd think this was obvious and you'd be wrong about that)
NOTHING that smells weird
If you have to stop and think about it, we probably don't want it.

Outdoor Book Sale coming up!

The Friends of the Roxbury Library are holding an OUTDOOR book sale with LOADS of books in excellent condition in the front parking lot on Saturday, June 26 from 10am-2pm. Rain Date is June 27th, same time.

Can't make it but want to support the Friends anyway? It's super easy to show us your care! Click here to become a Friend.

Book Collection

The Friends collect gently used books for the big annual book sale once a year in August. Whether you have a box or 100 bags of books, we'll take them!

Please take care to follow the below criteria when you sort through your items. Not doing so only puts more pressure on the volunteers who give their time to this massive undertaking.

2022 Book Collection: August 26 through August 31, 2022!

Book Donation Criteria

Hardcover, Paperbacks, DVDs, Current Textbooks are all good.
NO magazines. That includes bound magazines. Yes even Reader's Digest.
NO mold (you'd think this was obvious and you'd be wrong about that)
NOTHING that smells weird
If you have to stop and think about it, we probably don't want it.
