Book Sales

Spring & Fall Book Sales

UPL’s Spring and Fall Book Sales are run by our Library Trustees and volunteers. We sell good condition used items, donated by the community or deaccessioned from the library collection. All proceeds directly support the library’s annual operating budget.

We are currently accepting donations. Please read the guidelines below before you bring your donated materials.

Thank you for your support!

Donations 

Before dropping off your donation please ask yourself, would I give this item to a friend? If the answer is no, please don’t give it to the library!

We graciously accept donations of gently used:

  • Books

  • DVDs

  • CDs

  • LP records

  • Games

  • Puzzles

Book donations can be brought to the front desk during library open hours. Please do not leave book donations in the exterior book drops.

We DO NOT accept:

  • VHS cassettes & audio cassettes

  • Any books that are moldy, smelly, and/or damaged

  • Textbooks, outdated computer books (over five years old)

  • Outdated books on health, disease, fitness, etc. (over five years old)

  • Outdated travel guides (over five years old)

  • Magazines

  • Puzzles or games with missing pieces

Items from the list above will need to be disposed of which creates unnecessary work for our volunteers and staff.

Fall 2024 Book Sale

That’s a wrap! Thank you so much for supporting our Fall Book Sale and to our amazing volunteers and Trustees who made it happen! We raised over $5,000 for the library and we gave away 629 books to individual community members, including our Trumansburg students! We gave 18 boxes of books to community partners including the Prisoner Express program and the Food Pantry.
