The Friends of the Library of Hawaiʻi will hold its 74th annual summer sale from June 17 to 25. The group can be found at Ward Village in the old Pier 1 space.
Nainoa Mau, executive director of the organization, said he is excited to support public libraries, which he calls a "door to the world."
There will be a wide selection of books, media, and art for sale. With many school libraries closing, the organization has received an influx of children's literature.
"And they're all priced really affordably for the kids and families," Mau added.
Although the group has enough books to keep them "restocking constantly," Mau urges people to come as soon as they can.
"If you're interested in some of our more popular sections, like Hawaiiana, then you should show up in the first few days because while we do have quite a bit to put out, it goes really quickly," Mau said.
The sale kicks off this Saturday at 9 a.m. Members of Friends of the Library or the Hawaiʻi State Federal Credit Union gain access on Friday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Click here for more information.
