If you love getting lost in the pages of beautiful art books, you’ll want to stop by the Silver Lake Library this month. The Friends of Silver Lake Library are hosting an Art Book Sale on Saturday, August 15, with a huge collection of books spanning everything from ancient to modern art.
The one-day sale will feature common-to-rare and out-of-print editions, making it a great opportunity to hunt for something unusual while supporting the local library.
The Friends of Silver Lake Library say they’ve been collecting art books for nearly two years and have amassed a “gigantic collection.” Now, they’re putting it all up for sale, with plenty of titles for serious collectors and casual art lovers alike.
🎨 Browse books covering all kinds of art
The collection covers a wide range of subjects, so you won’t be limited to one particular style or period.
You can expect to find books focused on:
- Ancient to modern art
- Photography
- Art history
- Architecture
- Design
- Sculpture
- Fine art
- Low-brow art
There will also be rare and out-of-print editions mixed in, so it’s worth taking your time to dig through the selection.
📚 A book sale that supports the library
The sale isn’t just an excuse to add a few new coffee-table books to your collection. All proceeds benefit the Silver Lake Library.
That means you can browse the stacks, hunt for an unusual find, and support the neighborhood library at the same time.
Whether you’re an art student, collector, design enthusiast, or just someone who loves browsing a good book sale, this could be a fun way to spend a Saturday in Silver Lake.
