Book Sales

Bookstore

Find books, DVDs, magazines, and more, most for $2 or less, all year long at the Friends @ Rothrock Used Book Shop inside Lawson McGhee Library in downtown Knoxville.

The Friends @ Rothrock Used Book Shop is open 7 days a week. Check here for store hours, news about monthly specials, store prices, and other information.

Branch Sales

Branches of the Knox County Public Library hold sales throughout the year. These sales feature a wide selection of books at the same great prices as our huge annual event.

Visit our special branch sale page for the latest information about sale locations and dates.

Special Sales

Each year Friends celebrates reading in our community with book sales at special events such as the Children’s Festival of Reading and the East Tennessee History Fair. Shoppers at these events will find carefully curated collections of books at bargain prices.

Keep up with all our special sales here.

The 2020 Used Book Sale originally scheduled for April 17–20 has been postponed.
