71st Annual Booksale

 

JUNE 16-24, 2018 – 71st Annual

 

McKinley High School Cafeteria

1039 South King Street, Honolulu, Hawai‘i 96814

 

 

 

An island tradition continues in its 71st year . . .

 

The Friends of the Library of Hawai‘i (FLH) is pleased to announce the 71st Annual Booksale, sponsored by Hawai‘i State Federal Credit Union (HSFCU), from June 16 – June 24, 2018 at the McKinley High School Cafeteria. At Hawai‘i’s largest used booksale, you can choose from over 150,000 books in every category imaginable!

Since 1947, the FLH Annual Sale has invited Hawai‘i residents to browse selections of new and used, out-of-print and bestselling books and media. After 70 years, the sale is an island tradition and each summer thousands readers of all ages and backgrounds converge on the McKinley High School cafeteria for 11 days of bargains and a selection of titles to rival any bookstore.

Encompassing much more than books, the booksale will feature a selection of CDs, DVDs, comics and manga, and many more hard-to-find items. A popular section of the sale is the eclectic selection of donated ART. There is modern art, prints from local artists, lithographs, and sculpture.  
A catalogue of FLH’s rare and collectible books will be open for inspection at the sale. All books in the catalogue are available for purchase, including rare Hawaiiana titles. 

On opening weekend, Saturday and Sunday, June 16 and 17, look for authors from the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators in the grey tent in front of the cafeteria. They will be selling and signing their brand new chidren’s books, with a portion of sales going to support Friends of the Library of Hawai‘i.

 
Mahalo nui loa to the Hawai‘i State Federal Credit Union, our title sponsor, as well as to our other valued sponsors who include, Pension Services Corporation, Hawai‘i, Renée B. Fisher Foundation, Rezents & Crowley, LLP, Safeway, Foodland, Hawai‘i Foodservice Alliance, Whole Foods Market, Honolulu, and Zippy’s.

Welcome!

The Friends of the Library of Hawai‘i is a nonprofit organization whose primary objective is to maintain free public libraries in the State of Hawai‘i, to promote extension of library services throughout the State of Hawai‘i and to increase the facilities of the public library system of Hawai‘i by securing materials beyond the command of the ordinary library budget. Other objectives are to focus attention on libraries and to encourage and accept, by bequest or gift, donations of books, manuscripts, money, and other appropriate material that can enrich the cultural opportunities available to the people of Hawai‘i.
