Semiannual Mega Book Sale

It happens only twice a year! Don’t miss the long awaited semiannual book sale on Saturday, Aug. 24, from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Scripps Miramar Ranch Library.

The sale will feature a huge inventory of books for readers of all ages and tastes – from board books and picture books for tots, “chapter books” and easy readers for kids, and great books for teens to a wide range of fiction and nonfiction for adults, media and more – all at amazing low prices.

Save even more by choosing to fill the popular Big Yellow Bag for a single low price! And be sure to take the opportunity to browse the collection of antiquarian, rare, out-of-print books, and collectors’ editions, which can make a wonderful gift for the discerning book lover (or treat yourself) – at a fraction of the online price!

The Scripps Miramar Ranch Library is located at 10301 Scripps Lake Drive.

Still time for summer reading!

It’s not too late to participate in the popular Summer Reading Program, which continues through Aug. 31. This program is for readers of all ages: kids, teens and adults who can earn prizes just for reading! Simply sign up at sandiego.beanstack.org/reader365 and get started. Participants can complete a combination of 10 books, hours or activities to start claiming prizes. As a bonus, those who log their books, reading hours and/or activities will be entered into a grand prize raffle drawing. A citywide offering, the Summer Reading Program is sponsored in part at our library by the Scripps Ranch Friends of the Library.

Special programs and events

In addition to providing encouragement for everyone to read, Summer Reading time also features a wonderful array of exciting programs and events for kids, teens and families – sponsored by Scripps Ranch Friends of the Library! Most programs require online registration (sandiego.librarymarket.com). For complete details and updates, including recommended ages, for these and regular ongoing programs, visit www.srfol.org
