Cookbooks Only Booksale in June

In celebration of downtown Dover’s upcoming Restaurant Week, “Dover Dines ’09---Take a Bite Out of Dover”, the Friends of the Dover Public Library will sponsor a special “Cookbooks Only” booksale for one week only at the library’s main desk from Monday, June 1 through Saturday, June 6. Prices will range from $.50 to $3.00 and the selection will include hundreds of softcovers and hardcovers, local community cookbooks, exotic foreign cuisines, and everything in between.

Cookbooks are always among the most popular items at the Friends’ annual booksales and the library has recently received some wonderful cookbook donations in near-pristine condition. The Cookbook Booksale is open to all: a library card is not necessary to purchase items, but customers should come early for the best selection.

The Friends of the Library are still accepting additional cookbook donations for the sale, so if you’re cleaning out your kitchen bookshelf, please bring your old cookbooks to the library’s main desk before June 1. The sale will take place during regular library hours: Monday---Wednesday 9am to 8:30pm; Thursday---Friday 9am to 5:30pm; and Saturday 9am to 1pm. Proceeds from the sale will help the Friends of the Library continue to fund special library programs, museum passes, equipment, and furnishings.
