The Vose Seminary book sale

Perpetual sale

Vose now runs a year round book sale in the Library Lounge, at the front of the library. Many of them are discarded library duplicates, and you'll find lots of quality Old Testament, New Testament, theology, church history, ministry and Christian living titles. More books are added several times a week. The books are for sale whenever the library is open, with extended hours until 7pm Tuesday - Thursday during semester.

Annual sale

The annual Vose book sale was begun by librarians Val Wild and Gerry Covington in 1988 to raise funds and add books to the library from donated books. Each year, our volunteers sort thousands of books in preparation for the sale in April. The current book sale managers are Neil Mactaggart and Sue Clark.

We accept donations of books all year round. You can drop them off any time. Outside of business hours, please leave them on the front porch; during business hours, please come and ask the library staff. If you have any questions, call us on 6313 6288.
