Annual Friends of the Library Booksale starts this Thursday!

It's early May and, around here, that can only mean one thing: the annual Friends of the Library booksale! The booksale is the biggest fundraiser for the FOL, who not only support the library in a variety of ways but also help the environment by giving books a second life. We often hear from donors that if the FOL did not take used books, they would simply throw them away. That is not to say that the stuff in the sale is trash: far from it! There are some genuine treasures to be found in the booksale at a fraction of the cost that you would find elsewhere.With antiques and first editions, large format art books, bestsellers, children's books, even video and dvd, the sale is guaranteed to have something from everybody.

The sale begins this Thursday with a special FOL members-only presale. To become a member of the FOL, and get first dibs before the sale goes public, you can pay your membership dues at the adult circulation desk or pay at the door. Dues are $5 annually for adults and $3 for students. The sale begins at 9:00 am and goes until 7:30 pm. On Friday and Saturday, the sale opens to the public at 9:00 am. and runs until 5:00 pm. We hope to see you there!
