Used Book Sales
The Library sells surplus donated items and withdrawn materials that are no longer required. All proceeds go towards the purchase of new library resources.
Winnipeg Public Library offers used library materials free to non-profit agencies, including stewards of Little Free Libraries. These materials are unsold from the library’s book sales and include adult, teen and children’s books, magazines, audio visuals materials, multilingual materials and large print books. For more information, contact your local branch.
