Bookseller Review: Forsyth Library Sale

Forsyth Library Sale
660 W. Fifth St.
Winston-Salem, NC
336.703.2665


The Forsyth Library Central Branch holds a two-day, biannual book sale, hosted by the Friends of the Central Library. There is a bit of everything -- paperbacks cost 75 cents and hardbacks are $1.50. The second day everything is half-off, or $5 for a bag. 

What we like: You definitely can't beat the prices, especially on Day 2, when it's a grocery bag full of books for $5.

What we don't like: It'd be unfair to say anything bad about any library sale, let alone one we only visited for 30 minutes on its second day. We imagine there were more classics on Day 1, but even on Day 2, the selection was intriguing.

Would we go again? We wouldn't go to Winston-Salem for the Forsyth Library sale, but we might go back to Winston-Salem ... and hope the sale is happening at the same time.
