Neilson Hays Library on Surawong Road brings back its bi-annual Book Sale featuring hundreds of pre-loved and ex-library books in English and Thai, starting this Saturday until Nov 23, daily from 9.30am to 5pm (except Nov 17).
Visitors will find something for everyone from recent thrillers and history hardbacks to children’s books, cookbooks, magazines, CDs and DVDs, all housed within one of Bangkok’s most iconic and architecturally stunning buildings. Prices start at 20 baht.
Due to limited space, stock will be rotated throughout the sale so multiple visits are encouraged for the best finds. Visitors should bring their own bag to help reduce waste. However, limited edition Neilson Hays Library tote bags will be available for purchase.
The library is open to non-members during the sale. It is the perfect chance to explore the space, browse hundreds of pre-loved and ex-library books and experience the charm of this unique venue.
Exclusively on Nov 22, the library will host its first-ever Neilson Hays Market alongside the book sale, with local vendors in the garden and books inside the library.
All proceeds from the book sale will go to support preservation and maintenance of the historic library, hailed as a cultural and architectural gem in the heart of Bangkok, and ongoing community programming including children’s activities, literary events, exhibitions and outreach programmes that foster learning and creativity.
