Record-Breaking Book Sale Raises $14,000

We’re grateful to everyone who helped make our September 16-20 book sale at the Roseville Library an historic one! Thanks to the generosity and enthusiasm of our shoppers, volunteers, sponsors, and book donors, we netted $14,000—the highest total ever for one of our sales! These proceeds will be donated to support all seven Ramsey County Library locations, so they can continue to provide wonderful resources, programs, and services to our community.

Save the dates for our next big used book sale at the Roseville Library, March 31-April 4. Can’t wait that long to shop again? You can find great used books year-round at our Used Bookstores and Book Carts located at six Ramsey County Library locations.

We appreciate the support of our 2026 Signature Sponsor, Northeast Bank, for their sponsorship of events like this throughout the year and would like to also thank Cub Foods for donating grocery bags for this sale.
