BPL Friends Bookstore Now Open Without Appointments

 

You can now shop at the BPL Friends Bookstore in the Central Library without appointments.

Good news for book lovers looking for deals: The BPL Friends Bookstore, located on the first floor of the Central Library in downtown Birmingham, is now open for the public with no appointments necessary, and has plenty of deals available.

After the City of Birmingham ended its mask mandate and loosened COVID restrictions, the bookstore recently ended its appointment requirement. 

BPL Friends Bookstore currently has several books, DVDs and other products available at a discount thanks to recent donations.  Proceeds help the Friends Foundation of the Birmingham Public Library Friends Foundation support all 18 BPL locations. 

 The BPL Friends Bookstore held a soft opening on February 8, 2021 after being closed nearly a year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. 

The bookstore is open Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. 

Whether you are looking for CDs, DVDs, audio books, best sellers, or hidden gems you've never heard of, the BPL Friends Bookstore has plenty to choose from. We have books on a variety of topics, including biographies, cookbooks, history, local authors, and more. 

We are excited to be back open! Hope to see you soon!
