One of the benefits of being a volunteer member with the Friends of the Van Alstyne Public Library is that you get to see all the books as you set them up and can set aside the books you want to purchase 🙂 If you love to read or love the services from our local Van Alstyne Public Library, we’d love to have you join us as a volunteer member!
We accept donations of books and other media all year. The sale is held in the Spring and the Fall.

Friends of Van Alstyne Public Library Book Fair: Find your Next Great Read!
For a $5 entry donation, you can come to the Preview Night on Thursday, May 29th between 6pm and 8pm. This preview night allows you to come and shop the books before the book fair is open to the general public on Friday the 30th. You’ll bet first choice of the books and also can enjoy some homemade treats and coffee. This is our 3rd Preview Night and it’s been such a wonderful event for our patrons to get a chance to see all the books before everyone else. It’s totally worth the $5 entry donation!
We’ve listen and heard your request to have the book fair open longer hours! So on Friday, May 30th, we will be having the book fair open from 9am to 7pm so that you can come and shop for books after work. We hope these longer hours will provide plenty of time for everyone to come and see the books at the book fair and help support the Friends of the Van Alstyne Public Library.
On Saturday, May 31st we will be open from 9am to 12pm. We hope you will stop by and purchase purchase some books. We always have plenty of books to choose from and on the last days you’ll find ones that didn’t get put on the shelves on Friday or ones that were hiding and you missed seeing on Friday. It’s a great day to shop for books in a relaxed environment!
