Friends of the Library - Tehachapi

Need a great place to study, alone or with a group? The Tehachapi Library is open Tuesday-Thursday 10 AM - 7 PM, Friday 10 AM - 6 PM, and Saturday 10 AM - 4 PM.

The fall leaves are turning. We hope you are turning the leaves of some of your book purchases from the recent Friends of the Tehachapi Library Book Sale during the Apple Festival.

Thanks to our regular volunteers as well as members of the community who showed up to help us turn the Courtyard of the Library into an outdoor sale.

It's gratifying to see books match up with readers. What did you buy at the sale? What are you reading?

Mark your calendars for Saturday, December 7th when the Friends put on a Family Craft Event from 10 to 4, and our Christmas Book Market from 11-4 as part of the Tehachapi Hoe Town Christmas. (P. S. We've been saving special books all year!)

It's happening! The Fall Book Sale (during the Tehachapi Apple Festival). Stop by the Library Courtyard at 212 S. Green Street. We are here until 5 pm with LOTS of great priced specialty titles and vintage, and our popular bag sale.

Join a community of library supporters and readers and book lovers! We look forward to seeing you!

We discover such interesting things in our donations!

Today we priced vintage children's books from the 20s and 30s and vintage sheet music in preparation for our Fall Book Sale. The sale is THIS SATURDAY from 10 to 5 (in conjunction with the Apple Festival) in the Library Courtyard at 212 S. Green Street in downtown Tehachapi. Friends Community members and volunteers can shop at 9:30 am. You can buy a Community Friends membership at the door for $10, good for early entry to our sales for a year.

On Friday, October 10th from 4 to 6 pm we'll host our "We Love Locals" sale. Preview for Friends and volunteers at 3:30 pm.

We're looking for robust community-minded volunteers to help move boxes of books Friday from 12 to 1 at the library, and from 1 to 3 at our local storage shed. You can sign up online at https://www.volunteersignup.org/F8BFL.

The weather looks to be wonderful, and the book selection is too! All sales support the programs of the Tehachapi Branch,.

Feel like casting off on sea journey? A recent donation of Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin series (think "Master and Commander"!) and related titles are now featured on the top shelf on the nonfiction wall of the Friends of the Tehachapi Downstairs Bookshop. These are cracking sea adventures about the Royal Navy, set during the Napoleonic Wars. Look for the "As Featured on Facebook" shelf marker.

And stop by our Fall Book Sale for more interesting reads Saturday, October 11th from 10 to 5, and our "We Love Locals" sale Friday, October 10th from 4-6!
