Preview sale 10/30/2018 from 4pm-8pm
Open to the public: 10/31/2018 (Halloween) through 11/4 

At the end of October, Friends will fill up the Festival Pavilion Pier at Fort Mason for the 54th Big Book Sale, an iconic San Francisco tradition. Members will kick off the  sale on October 30th at the Member Preview Sale  and Reception, from 4-8PM. The sale will continue  from the 31st, Halloween, through November 4th. On the last  day, the 4th, all books will be just $1. Don’t  fret about book selection! All sections will be restocked  daily with new and exciting finds; there will be no shortage  of great titles. The multi-day event attracts people from  all over the Bay Area and beyond. Mike Pincus, a book  enthusiast who comes to the sale every year, donates his  home library collection before the sale, and then  replenishes his shelves with new books he buys. It’s  because of our supporters like Mike that we are able to  support the superior San Francisco Public Library and  make an exceptional difference! We can’t wait to see  you at the Big Book Sale this fall!
