About the annual book sale
About the annual book sale
Our annal books sale is our main fundraising event. Every year, usually in October, we host a days-long book sale at the Pendleton Convention Center. This year we sold more than 5,000 items and raised over $10,000 to support the Pendleton Public Library. Arranging the annual book sale is a huge organizational feat, and we are immensely grateful for the community's steadfast support every year. We wish to thank all the dozens of volunteers who made the 2024 PFOL book sale such a success, including the Blue Mountain Community College Men's Basketball Team.
2025 Book Sale
The dates for the 2025 Book Sale were Thursday 10/23/2025 - Saturday 10/25/2025. As usual, we held the Book Sale at the Pendleton Convention Center. We are happy to report that the sale was one of our most successful in our history, with us surpassing the amount of money we raised for the library last year by several hundred dollars. We wish to extend our gratitude to all the dedicated volunteers and financial contributors who made the sale a success!
