Off the Shelf: June Book Sale
By Sharon Saye on May 18, 2013
The library’s annual June book sale is fast approaching. Scheduled this year from June 3rd through June 8th, there are stacks of boxes full of books with more coming every day. We are still accepting donations for the book sale; we sort through your donations and keep what the library needs. The remainder goes into the book sale. Unless you specifically state it, we recognize all gifts with a thank you letter.
The selections thus vary, one book sale we will have more paperbacks and children’s books, the next more best-sellers and music or DVDs. So if you are a collector or like to stock up, please stop in at the book sale. The proceeds are normally used to purchase more materials.
The prices at the book sale remain the same: hardbacks are $2.00, large print books are $1.00, mass market paperbacks $1.00, trade paperbacks $1.50, DVDs, record albums and CDs $1.00, audiocassettes and videos $.25, and magazines $.10. The book sale is held during our regular hours during the week: Mondaythrough Friday 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday noon to 5 p.m. The book sale starts closing down a half-hour early so we can get ready for the next day.
Bag Day is Saturday. It tends to be very hectic so come early. The library provides the bags and the price is $1.00 per bag.
If you are a senior citizen or a member of the Friends of the Library, you get 50% off. The library defines senior citizen as starting at 60; membership in the Friends is only $5.00 for an individual, and $10.00 for a family.
So please mark your calendar. You can’t beat these prices and it is an easy way to stock up on reading materials and benefit your library as well.
