Friends of the Library Booksale Project

Each year, the Friends of the Tompkins County Public Library holds two book sales, one in the Spring and another in the Fall, to benefit organizations working for literacy in Tompkins County. Our special partners in this are Tompkins County Public Library (TCPL) and the Finger Lakes Library System (FLLS)

The number of items available for each sale usually exceeds 250,000. Thanks to our many volunteers, our sales have been extremely successful.

We offer a further thanks to those who donate books and to those who buy them at our sales so that we may continue to support the libraries in our community.
