30th Annual Friends of the Library Book Sale

We're in our 30th year of our Friends of the Library Book Sales! Our first one was held in 1982. Please join us for what's sure to be another successful book sale!

The Friends of the Cobb County Public Library System’s semi-annual book sale will be held Friday and Saturday, March 23-24 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, March 25 from 1-5 p.m. at the Jim R. Miller Park on 2245 Callaway Road in Marietta.

Donated items for the book sale include soft-cover and hard-back books, magazines, text books, DVD and VHS movies, and children’s books. Prices range from 10 cents to $5. Last year, the book sales generated more than $80,000 which enabled the library staff to purchase new materials, including books and DVDs.

The March book sale attracts thousands of book-lovers to the event and is one of the two large semi-annual sales held yearly. This year’s sale also coincides with the Cobb Library Foundation’s second-annual Wild West Fest, which will be held on Saturday, March 24 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Jim R. Miller Park. Tickets to the fest are for sale online and available at the door; entrance is free for children 3 and under. All proceeds are designated to benefit the programs and services of the Cobb County Public Library System.
