The sale will feature more than 15,000 used books, mostly donated by UW-Madison students, faculty, staff and community members.

Book sale proceeds go towards library functions and events such as an annual lecture series, library preservation and conservation grants and aid grants for visiting scholars to use research materials at campus libraries.

For a $5 admission, the public can attend a preview sale Wednesday from 5 to 9 p.m.

The regular sale, free of charge, will be held Thursday and Friday from 10:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.
On Saturday from 10:30 a.m.-1 p.m., customers can fill a personal bag for $3 and can purchase bags for $1 each at the sale.

The sale will be held in Memorial Library room 116.
