Our Used Book Sales!

Our two annual Book Sales that raise funds to enhance the library’s collection, programs and services, along with promoting community engagement, volunteerism and library awareness. Through selling books inexpensively to the community, the sales also provide access to reading, literacy, and culture.

Holiday Mini Book Sale

Our mini sale is held on a Saturday in November, in conjunction with the Elm Grove Business Association’s Holiday Open House and the Elm Grove Woman’s Club Christmas in the Grove event.

Annual Used Book Sale

Our main book sale is held on a weekend in early March.

Donate Year Round!

We accept the following:

  • Books of any kind (children’s, adults, hard cover, paperback, fiction, non-fiction)
  • CDs
  • DVDs
  • Puzzles

Please, no magazines.

Donations can be dropped off any time of year at the library circulation desk during open library hours. Please let the staff know they are for the Used Book Sale (or label them as such). As a registered non-profit organization, your donation to FOEGL is tax-deductible.
