Book Sales
Book sales are on the first Saturday of even-numbered months from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. at the Central Library’s McKim Building at Copley Square.
Most hardcovers are $2, most paperbacks are $1, “special” new and collectible books are individually priced.
Inventory includes thousands of books in all genres (children’s, young adults, history, sci-fi, romance, mystery, fiction, classics, reference, foreign language, and more). We often have “sales” within sales.” For example, romance novels might be four for $1.
