The sale is open to the general public on Tuesday, June 11th from 10am to 5:30pm, Wednesday, June 12th from 10am to 5:30pm and Thursday, June 13th from 10am to 3pm.

The Annual Book sale is held by Friends of the Duluth Public Library at the main library in downtown Duluth, a tradition started in 1980 in conjunction with community tours of what was then the new library. The first sale raised $3,646. This year, organizers are hoping to raise over $20,000.

The funds from the annual sale assist with the purchase of resources and equipment such as books, subscription databases, free downloadable music, and e-readers. The proceeds also help fund library events, including Kaleidoscope, a free 5-week outdoor summer entertainment program series for children.
