Some library employees said moving the sale to Hilles will make the event less accessible.
"I don't think the people will come. Hilles is a faraway place," said a long-time library employee, who asked not to be named "Harvard Square is very popular and that's what draws people into Widener."
"People walk out there with four or five boxes of books. How are they going to do that at Hilles?" the employee added.
O'Brien said the College could hold the sales in Pusey Library or another nearby location during the renovation.
Employees of the division believe their jobs are less secure at the new location, according to O'Brien, who is representing their grievance on behalf of Harvard Union of Clerical and Technical Workers.
"They think their job is going to be fully phased out and their duties portioned off to other people," she said.
But library officials said they have no such plans.
