• Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, Oct 25-27: 2-8 p.m. 
• Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, Oct 28 -Oct. 31: 11 a.m.-5 p.m.

The book sale includes art, architecture, and rare books.

Fairfax County Covid restrictions will be in effect, including a mask requirement, social distancing, and occupancy limits. Customers must use credit or debit cards; cash will not be accepted. 

Proceeds from the book sale support the Fairfax County Library Summer Reading Program, George Mason Regional Library programming, the Fall for the Book Festival, and the Fairfax County Library Foundation Scholarships.
