The Friends of the Arlington Public Library (FOAL) have two book sales annually held in the garage of the Central Library located at 1015 N. Quincy Street, Arlington, VA 22207.

Please take metro or park in the outdoor lots surrounding the library as we use the garage for the sale. The closest Metro stations are Ballston and Virginia Square, both on the Orange Line.

Please bring your own bags or boxes as we have a limited number of paper bags and boxes for patrons to use.

Cash and credit cards are accepted at the sales.

Teachers and librarians with school ID’s receive 50% off book purchases on Friday and Saturday, and everyone receives 50% off on Sunday (it’s half price day).

T-shirts, mugs, and “Front Table books” are excluded from the 50% off on all days.

Specialty Books are priced individually and include sets, first editions, and rare books. These books have been separated out and will be for sale in the Central Library Auditorium on the library’s first floor.

Volunteers are needed for assistance with these sales.
