Enjoy Friends of the Brentwood Library Book Sales

We have quarterly pop-up sales featuring various themes

These community sales are held in the library community room to accommodate a larger selection of inventory, and customers. During these sales, we offer many discounts, and a larger selection of books and puzzles.

We have pop-up hook sales from time to time throughout the year and focus on selling overstocked items and books on specialized topics, such as art books, children’s books, and teacher materials. The sales are usually held on the second floor of the library.
