The Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library (EVPL) is inviting residents to its annual fall book sale this weekend. The event will take place in the Browning Rooms of the Central Library, located in downtown Evansville.
Sale hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday. Library officials say the sale will feature hundreds of gently used books, movies and compact discs, providing a wide selection for readers of all ages.
EVPL staff have been sorting donations for weeks, ensuring that the shelves are stocked with a variety of genres—from classic literature and contemporary fiction to children’s picture books and educational titles. Movie lovers can browse a range of DVDs and Blu‑rays, while music enthusiasts will find a selection of CDs spanning many styles.
All proceeds from the sale support the library’s programming and services, helping to fund literacy initiatives, community events, and technology upgrades. The library’s annual book sale has become a beloved tradition in Evansville, offering families an affordable way to expand their home collections while supporting a public good.
What to Expect
Visitors can expect a friendly, family‑focused atmosphere. Volunteers will be on hand to assist shoppers, answer questions, and help locate specific titles. The library encourages attendees to bring reusable bags or carts for easy transport of purchases.
In addition to the book sale, the Central Library will continue its regular services throughout the weekend, including computer access, reference assistance, and a children’s storytime program on Saturday morning.
How to Get Involved
Community members who wish to donate books, movies or CDs may drop off their items at any EVPL branch before the sale begins. Donations are accepted in all conditions, though items in good, readable or viewable condition are preferred.
Volunteers are also welcome to help staff the sale. Those interested can sign up online through the library’s website or contact the library directly.

The Central Library is situated at 10 South Main Street in downtown Evansville. Free parking is available in the adjacent municipal lot, and public transit routes serve the area.
