Our Monthly Book Sales are held on the second Saturday of every month, 10:00 am – 4:00 pm, in the Main Library's Lower Level. This sale boasts more than 25,000 items, all at 70–90% off list price. Paperbacks start at just 25 cents each! Most CDs and DVDs are just $1 each.

The Friends of the Library use funds from the Bookshop and Book Sales to support the Public Library Albuquerque and Bernalillo County programs, such as the Summer Reading Program and El Día de los Niños, as well as staff development, community outreach, and more.

The Friends rely on the generous donations of books and other media from the community. Small donations can be dropped off at the local library branches, and larger donations at the Main Library.
