Thanks for making Booksale Bonanza a success!

Booksale Bonanza, Northern Nevada's largest booksale, was once again a success for the Friends and for our local libraries. With your support, this nine-day event raised almost $40,000 to help support library services and programs in Washoe County.

Our Mission

Backed by a belief that libraries are uniquely democratic, we promote, advocate, and seek funding to support the services, programs, and collections of Washoe County Library System. Through our projects, we strive to give children an educational head start, encourage literacy, and foster lifelong learning and recreation for adults.
