The CALS Used Book Sale — Little Rock’s favorite way of procuring cheap reads ($1 for paperbacks and $2 for hardbacks, with ID-verified educators getting an additional 25% off this time around!) — returns next week, on July 11-13.
Reminder: Rather than happening in the basement of the Main Library, the sale will take place at the Port Industrial Hub (7773 Sloane Dr.), which has housed CALS’ administrative offices since the flagship branch shuttered in September for a major renovation that’ll be underway until 2025.
If you’re old school and prefer not to use Google Maps, CALS has offered the following instructions for locating the new spot:
Take exit 4 from I-440 East and turn right onto Lindsey Road. (If you are heading from downtown Little Rock, this is one exit beyond the Little Rock Airport.) Turn right onto Mauney Road, then turn left onto Frazier Pike/Sloane Drive. Our new building – located at 7773 Sloane Drive – will be on your right. We will have signs outside of the building.
Hours for the sale are 3-5 p.m. on Thursday and 10 a.m.-2 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, though Thursday is only open to 2023 and lifetime Friends of CALS members, or library donors who have given $25 or more to the CALS Foundation or Friends of CALS in the last year.
