Oceanside, CA -The Friends of the Oceanside Public Library are hosting “Bring Your Books Day!” on Saturday, June 17, 2023, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at their sorting facility located at 169 Roymar Road in Oceanside.  Volunteers will be available for curbside unloading.

This is an opportunity to declutter and help support Oceanside Public Library by donating your gently used books, DVDs, CDs, magazines and puzzles.  For a donation location map and other information please visit oplfriends.org. 

Friends of Oceanside Public Library President Chris Wilson noted, “The Friends sell the donations at our bookstores to generate crucial funding for the Library.  Those funds help the Library purchase books and other print and digital media; provide programs and events for all ages; offer technology resources such as 3D printing; and enhance outreach efforts through bookmobiles, Mini-libraries and home deliveries. Donations from our community today help ensure that our Library continues tomorrow and into the future as a source of education, enrichment and entertainment.”

The Friends sell your donations at their three bookstores; at the Thursday Oceanside Farmers Market; and through their Amazon store.  For information about the Friends’ bookstores and monthly in-store specials please visit https://www.oplfriends.org/bookstores/.
