Friends Book Sales

Friends Book Sales are New Orleans’ best kept secret for great used books, music and movies at low prices. All sales support local public libraries. Choose from more than 10,000 great books every week. Follow the Friends on Facebook, Twitter, Yelp, and Instagram to see our latest stock.

Both our Carriage House Bookshop and the Book Sale at Algiers Regional Branch Library are staffed by dedicated volunteers from Friends of the New Orleans Public Library. Profits from every book sold go to supporting library programs like early literacy training for children in need, scholarships for hardworking librarians, large print books for the elderly and many other vital programs.
