Doors open at 9 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 28, for the Friends of the Library’s annual, two-week-long, gigantic fall book sale. Only library cardholders will be able to purchase items on the first day of the sale so be sure to bring your card with you on the 28th. The sale opens to non-cardholders and the general public on Saturday, Oct. 29.
Thousands of paperbacks, hardcover books, and media items for all ages will be available at prices from 50 cents to $3. Many of the sale items are books donated to the library while others are items discarded from the library’s collections. Book sale prices will be further reduced on Wednesday, Nov. 2 and during week two of the book sale, Nov. 7-12, the remainder of the items will be sold for the bargain price of just $1 per bag or boxful. Any leftover books will be given away for free beginning Monday, Nov. 14.All proceeds benefit the Friends of the Library, a 501(c)3 charitable organization which last year donated over $15,000 to the library for museum passes, children’s and adult programs, furnishings and equipment. Applications to join the Friends of the Library are available at the library’s circulation desk.
Membership is $10 annually or $7 for seniors. Friends who work at the book sale receive a 50 percent discount on purchases. Call 516-6050 for more information.
Library hours are Monday and Tuesday, 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.; Wednesday-Friday 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Library will be closed on Friday, Nov. 11 for the Veterans Day holiday.
