Book Sale Starts Tomorrow!!

One of the biggest annual events in our own little library-land is starting tomorrow morning at 9 am. The Friends of the Library Book Sale is always a popular way to spend a cold, rainy weekend, and you are sure to find at least one thing there that you think interesting. (Many people find boxes of things they want). In addition to thousands of books, you will also find magazines, DVDs, VHS, cassettes, and audiobooks. We have set up 40 tables - and we're hoping to get hold of more - and we are stuffing them with books from two full storage units. Some of the items available for sale will be library discards, but most of the books and videos will be donations from your neighbors. There will be mounds of history, gardening, cookbooks, crafts and computer guides. There will be piles of romance, mystery, western and science fiction novels. There will be classic literature, pulp fiction, award-winners and bodice-rippers. There will be books for toddlers, schoolkids, teens and college-bound. There will be large print books as well. Basically, there will be a huge cornucopia of learning, entertainment, how-to, enrichment, fun and escapism available for your purchase. Hardbacks are $1, paperbacks are .50¢, magazines are .25¢. The sale will run from 9 am - 5 pm on Saturday, and noon - 4 pm on Sunday. After 3 pm on Sunday, all leftover items will be free. Proceeds from the sale benefit the Friends of the Library, which in turn benefits your public library. So come prepared to spend some money and do some good!
