Doors open at 9am on Friday, October 25 for
the Friends of the Library’s annual, two-week-long, gigantic fall booksale.
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 25th! The sale opens to non-cardholders
and the general public on Saturday, October 26.
Thousands of paperbacks, hardcover books, and
media items for all ages will be available at prices from $.50 to $3.00. Many
of the sale items are books donated to the library while others are items
discarded from the library’s collections. Booksale prices will be further reduced
on Wednesday, October 30, and during Week #2 of the booksale, November 4-9, the
remainder of the items will be sold for the bargain price of just $1.00 per bag
or boxful. Any leftover books will be given away for free beginning Tuesday, November
12.
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 booksale receive a
50% discount on purchases. Call 516-6050 for more information.
Library hours are Monday and Tuesday 9am to
8:30pm; Wednesday---Friday 9am to 5:30pm; and Saturday 9am to 5pm. The Library
will be closed on Monday, November 11 for the Veterans Day holiday.
