As always we will have the huge meeting room full of books for children and adults in both hardcover and softcover. We will have fiction and non-fiction, audiobooks, DVDs, music CDs, book sets, cassettes, video games and special books. We collect books for the entire year for this one BIG sale!

We also need volunteers to set up and man the Book Sale. To help out, please contact Ellen Church at 393-1742 or ellenchurch@charter.net.

Internet Cafe Book Sale Shelf

Visit our expanded Book Sale Shelf, upstairs in the Internet Cafe. We have an excellent selection of fiction and non-fiction, softcover and hardcover. There is also a shelf devoted solely to YA titles. There are no children's books upstairs. All books upstairs are 50 cents each. Please pay downstairs at the circulation desk. We'll continue to stock both the shelf downstairs and the larger location upstairs. Both locations are stocked by the Friends of the Library, which continues to accept donations of books in good condition.

If you don't know where the internet cafe is, go upstairs, turn left and walk as far as the rotunda, then turn left. It's in the old Gale Building, opposite the Mystery Room, where the YA room used to be located, before the renovation.
