Used Book Sales
The Friends of the Bartlett Library conduct multiple used book sales throughout the year. Friends book sales raise $22,000-25,000 annually for the Bartlett Library and account for 85% of Friends’ fundraising revenues. The vast majority of books offered for sale have been donated by the Bartlett community. Proceeds from all Friends book sales benefit the Bartlett Public Library.
Feature Sale
The Feature Sale is located in the front lobby of the library, and each month different categories of books are offered. The Holiday, Biggest & Best, Cookbooks, African-American, and Military sales are especially popular. There are no Feature Sales during June and July while the annual Read for Your School summer reading program is in progress.
