Hardback books will be priced at $3 each, and softbacks at $2 each. The Friends group notes that the modest prices are meant to keep books accessible while still raising essential funds.

Organizers stress that the sale depends on the generosity of local book donors. Anyone wishing to contribute gently used books can drop them off at the Orange Beach Public Library at 26267 Canal Road. Donations are accepted in advance so volunteers have time to sort by category and condition.

The Annual Book Sale has become a tradition that connects neighbors, clears off home bookshelves, and puts more stories into circulation. For many residents, it is also a chance to show appreciation for a library that serves as a gathering place and resource year-round.
