SANTA ROSA, Calif. - Rezul -- From Friday, October 2 to Monday, October 5, Veterans Memorial Hall in Santa Rosa will be transformed into Sonoma County's largest pop-up used book sale. During this four-day event, the all-volunteer, non-profit Friends of the Santa Rosa Libraries will offer 50,000 gently used books and media for purchase. Proceeds from past sales have made it possible for Friends of the Santa Rosa Libraries to donate $200,000 to the new Roseland Library and to fund numerous projects at four Santa Rosa branches of the Sonoma County Library as well as the Sonoma County History & Genealogy Library.

"The 2026 Big Book Sale will be a great experience for book lovers and bargain hunters," said Joe Seymour, President of the Friends of the Santa Rosa Libraries. He continued, "When buying books, our shoppers are also making an investment in our libraries and communities. It's wonderful to see the enthusiasm Sonoma County residents have for books, reading and libraries."

Book lovers will find popular titles and hidden gems among 50 genres including fiction, mystery, romance, art, music, history, Californiana, cooking, biography, social sciences, health, science, travel, languages and more. Rounding out the assortment will be a special section highlighting banned or challenged books plus a wide selection of specially priced books, DVDs, CDs, puzzles, games, sheet music and journals.
