For fans of Book Page: As of September 2023, the Friends of the Gilroy Library have decided not to continue the subscription to Book Page, due to high costs. The Library has many free options to choose from for book suggestions and reviews. See: https://sccld.org/find-a-good-book/.

Also on this link, check out Book Browse https://sccld.org/resource/bookbrowse-for-libraries/ and Beanstack https://sccld.org/resource/beanstack-track-your-reading-get-recommendations/ for more resources for reading guides and book groups.

Book sale on Saturday, March 9, 2024
from 10 am – 1 pm

Due to completion of the construction in the patio area, we are able to go back to using the back terrace to display many paperback books, standard & Blu-Ray DVDs, CDs and many other boxes of books available for your own selection.  Of course, as always, many more materials are available in the bookstore. 

Prices vary from 50 cents for paperbacks to $1 for hard back books, dvds, and cds.  Or make your own bag from these selections, $5 for members, $8 for nonmembers.

Credit card purchase available for purchases of over $5.00.  Masks are optional.
