Book Lovers’ Book Sale Opens Thursday, April 23

The 2026 Book Lovers' Book Sale, organized by the Friends of the Sioux City Public Library, opens Thursday, April 23 at 4 p.m. and runs through Saturday, May 2 in the former Chuck-E-Cheese/Maude's location at Southern Hills Mall - 4400 Sergeant Road.

Shoppers can look forward to browsing thousands of books and recordings. Hardcover books, DVDs, CDs, and vinyl records will be available for $4, paperbacks for $2, and children's picture books for $1.

"The Friends of the Library Book Sale raises money for projects that many Siouxlanders are familiar with, like the annual children's Summer Reading Program. But recent funds have also contributed to programming for adults: Sioux City Reads, Adult Summer Reading, and the library's Open Book Club," said Brendan Todt, president of the Friends of the Sioux City Public Library board. "Friends contributions have also allowed the library to update equipment for some of their in-person and digital outreach programs because libraries are a lot more than a repository for books."
