THE SALE takes place this July at 200 Keawe Street in Kakaʻako Makai. The Friends of the Library of Hawai‘i (FLH) – 76th Annual Booksale is presented by Hawai‘i State Federal Credit Union (HSFCU). The 200 Keawe Street address is the former Re-use Hawaiʻi in Kakaʻako and, if you remember the FLH Harbor Warehouse from a decade ago, we hosted our smaller book and music sales there.

At Hawai‘i’s largest used booksale, you can choose from over 125,000 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. Three quarters of a century later, the sale is an island tradition and each summer thousands readers of all ages and backgrounds converge 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. The sale will not feature artwork this year.

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, and Rezents & Crowley, LLP. Mahalo to the Office of Hawaiian Affairs for allowing us to use this warehouse location.

Parking at the Sale

There is plentiful free parking at the warehouse at 200 Keawe Street. Enter from Keawe Street.
