Is there anything better than kicking back on a Hawaiian beach, digging your toes into the sand, and enjoying a good book while listening to the waves crash against the shore? We don’t think so — except, of course, the book you’re reading was purchased at the Annual Friends of the Library book sale, which just went virtual for the first time ever.
Every summer, the Friends of the Library of Hawaii hosts a massive book sale at McKinley High School — the largest book sale in the state! The event was canceled for 2020 but has officially moved online and we couldn’t be more excited.

You’ll find more than just books for sale, though: inventory also includes CDs, DVDs, Blu-Rays, puzzles, and so much more.
