The largest used book sale on the West Coast returns to Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture! The Friends of the San Francisco Public Library’s 53rd Annual Big Book Sale features more than 500,000 books and media — CDs, records, DVDs, and audio books — all for $3 or less. On Sunday all prices drop to $1, and proceeds from the sale support programs at the San Francisco Public Library.

Friends’ members gain early access to the Big Book Sale and enjoy refreshments while shopping on Tuesday, September 19, 4:00 p.m to 8:00 p.m. at the Preview Sale and Reception.
