The
Book Sale Room will be closed from April 24th - May 2nd in preparation for the
Annual
As a fundraising activity, volunteers from the Friends
of the Library stock and maintain the library’s used book sale room. It is open
every day during library hours. The sale room is stocked with books donated by the community or
withdrawn from the library. The collection includes both fiction and non-fiction,
and prices generally range from 25 cents to 3 dollars. Prices are written just
inside the cover of each book or occasionally marked with a sticker on the
front.
Shoppers will also find many popular magazines for 10 cents each and a small
selection of secondhand DVDs, VHS tapes and CDs for one or two dollars. All items must be paid for at the
library checkout desk.
All of the books in the sale room are arranged
according to subject to aid patrons in finding selections of their choice.
Marked sections cover a side range of topics, including mysteries, romances,
popular novels, science fiction, westerns, children’s books, biographies,
history, religion, cookbooks, crafts, sports, health and other subjects.
Donations of used books are needed all year long for
the sale room and also for a larger Annual
Spring Sale sponsored by the Friends of the Library. If you are a member
you may attend the ‘Members Preview’
book sale. Donors may leave their books with library staff members during
library hours, or may call the library at 501-623-4161 to arrange for
volunteers to pick up books that cannot be delivered. A tax receipt is
available for all donated materials.
