The Friends of the Hockessin Library group was established in 1977 and since then has supported the expansion of the original building, construction of a new building in 1994 and a major expansion in 2008. The Friends group has also provided funding for much-needed materials, equipment and programs for almost fifty years!

How does the group accomplish all of this? One of the biggest fundraising efforts each year is the group’s Used Book Sale. The Used Book Sale occurs four times per year, and since 2011, Success Won’t Wait has been a proud supporter of the event, donating tens of thousands of books to support the library.

In 2026, Used Book Sales will be held on:

• February 27-28
• May 29-30
• August 28-29
• November 20-21

Planning on attending? You’ll find everything from fiction to biographies, children’s faves to cookbooks, self-help to poetry… and just about everything in between. Come prepared with cash and checks only. Credit cards will NOT be accepted. All proceeds benefit the Hockessin Public Library.
