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.

Occasionally, we also hold mini sales inside the library. These sales include high quality new or very gently used books. We also often have literary themed gifts and sometimes even baked goods.
