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.
