The 2025 sale will take place at a new location: 1575 Old Alabama Road in Roswell, situated in the Holcomb Bridge Crossing shopping complex.

The six-day sale begins with a members-only preview evening on Thurs., Feb, 13, from 5-8 p.m. The sale then opens to the public on Valentine’s Day, running through the weekend and concluding the following weekend. The final day features a special “$5 Bag Day” promotion.

Book enthusiasts who can’t wait for the annual sale can visit FERL’s year-round self-service bookshop in the East Roswell Library Branch lobby. This shop operates on an honor box payment system during regular library hours.

All proceeds from both the annual sale and the permanent bookshop directly benefit the East Roswell Library, funding needs not covered by the Fulton County Library System’s budget.

The organization welcomes volunteers for both the annual sale and the permanent bookshop. Those interested in volunteering can email friends@friendsoferl.org for the annual sale or bookstore@friendsoferl.org for the bookshop.

FERL accepts donations of gently used books at the Used Book Store area in the East Roswell Library. For large donations, donors should email bookstore@friendsoferl.org to arrange a drop-off time.
